About 6 Art House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Art House is a two-bedroom property in Exeter (EX1 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 613 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (57–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 10 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 is 34.5% above the 2003 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 17.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 6 Art House is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX1 1DU. 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 6 Art House. 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 6 Art House was lodged in January 2012 at band D and expired in January 2022, 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 6 Art House. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX1 1DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Art House 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.
