Overview

About 3a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3a is a six-bedroom detached house in Wembury, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 0EX). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2167 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe.

At 201 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 is 29.6% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in August 2017.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3a is modelled from its 201 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 0EX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 3a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3a was lodged in August 2009 at band D and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL9 0EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3a is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
