It has a recorded floor area of 406 m² (around 4370 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47).

Across 1997–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,062,000 sits 55.9% above the 2015 sale of £1,322,500.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 40 The Strand is modelled from its 406 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX3 0AY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 40 The Strand. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 40 The Strand was lodged in April 2009 at band F and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 11 applications are matched to 40 The Strand. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX3 0AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 40 The Strand is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
