Overview

About 1 Chestnut House

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

1 Chestnut House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Exeter (EX1 2ND). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (70 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a C (score 70). Earlier certificates rated it B (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 58 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across 2006–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at -12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £191,000 is 15.8% above the 2013 sale price.
