About 72 Fore Street
72 Fore Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in North Tawton (EX20 2ED). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2017) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 72.9% above the 2007 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm.
