Overview

About 1 Commins Road

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

1 Commins Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX1 2QB). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sale on file: £280,000 in September 2021. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 33.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
