Overview

About 7 Dunstone Drive

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

7 Dunstone Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Plymouth (PL9 8SH). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £322,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 25.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 7 Dunstone Drive is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 8SH. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 7 Dunstone Drive. 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 7 Dunstone Drive was lodged in July 2012 at band C and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 7 Dunstone Drive. 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 8SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Dunstone Drive 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.
