About 78 Fore Street

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

78 Fore Street is a semi-detached house in North Tawton (EX20 2ED). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
