Overview

About 16b

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

16b is a two-bedroom detached house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 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. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £881,000 is 26.6% below the 2023 sale of £1,200,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,199/sq ft) was about 239.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £1,200,000 in September 2023.
