Overview

About 8c

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

8c is a mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX1 1TE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 45 m² this is the 5th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–266 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 95.7% above the 2003 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 38.6% below the postcode norm. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 8c is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX1 1TE. 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 8c. 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 8c was lodged in September 2021 at band E and is valid until September 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8c. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX1 1TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
