Overview

About 8 First Avenue

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

8 First Avenue is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX1 2PH). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 112 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 10 EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 is 45.2% above the 2016 sale price.

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 8 First Avenue is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX1 2PH. 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 8 First Avenue. 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 8 First Avenue was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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. None is matched to 8 First Avenue. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX1 2PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 First Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
