How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Lower Saltram is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 7PW.

About 1 Lower Saltram
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Lower Saltram is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL9 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 sits 57.7% above the 2009 sale of £248,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 32.7% below the postcode norm.

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 1 Lower Saltram is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 7PW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Lower Saltram. 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 1 Lower Saltram was lodged in March 2009 at band C and expired in March 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. None is matched to 1 Lower Saltram. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL9 7PW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Lower Saltram is in council tax band C. 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.
