Overview

About Beechcroft

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

Beechcroft is a three-bedroom detached house in Plymouth (PL9 9BR). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 is 36.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in October 2015. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

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 Beechcroft is modelled from its 170 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL9 9BR. 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 Beechcroft. 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 Beechcroft was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, 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 Beechcroft. 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 9BR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Beechcroft 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.
