Overview

About 12 The Square

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

12 The Square is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in North Tawton (EX20 2EP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 767 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 71 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–143 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

8 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2012–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£502/sq ft) was about 211.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £385,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
