Overview

About Grove House

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

Grove House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0HF). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 573 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Most recent transfer: October 2021 at £115,000. Across the public record there are 5 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. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 33% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm.
