Overview

About 89a

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

89a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX1 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 338.8% above the 1996 sale of £33,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 73.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

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 89a is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX1 1BZ. 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 89a. 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 89a was lodged in November 2025 at band E and is valid until November 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 89a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX1 1BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
89a is in council tax band B. 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.
