About 5 Sunhill Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Sunhill Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0BR). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 133 m² it sits well below the postcode median (236 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold September 2021 for £1,150,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, tree works and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,413,000 is 22.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£803/sq ft) was about 108% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Sunhill Lane is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX3 0BR. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 5 Sunhill Lane. 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 5 Sunhill Lane was lodged in January 2012 at band D and expired in January 2022, 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. 8 applications are matched to 5 Sunhill Lane. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX3 0BR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Sunhill Lane 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.
