How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 The Quay is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 7NA. 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.

About 3 The Quay
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 The Quay is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oreston, Plymouth, Plymouth (PL9 7NA). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 sits 420.6% above the 1998 sale of £73,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 72.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 The Quay is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 7NA. 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 3 The Quay. 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 3 The Quay was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 3 The Quay. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL9 7NA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 The Quay is in council tax band E. 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.
