About 34 Springfield Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34 Springfield Road is an end-of-terrace house in Plymouth (PL9 8EN). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 459 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 43 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D across 8 units on file.
Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£370/sq ft) was about 70.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.

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 34 Springfield Road is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 8EN. 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 34 Springfield Road. 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 34 Springfield Road was lodged in November 2008 at band E and expired in November 2018, 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 34 Springfield Road. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL9 8EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 34 Springfield Road is in council tax band A. 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.
