Overview

About 15 Higher Street

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

15 Higher Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hatherleigh, Okehampton, Okehampton (EX20 3JD). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 58.1% above the 2009 sale of £107,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 19.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
