Overview

About Flat 8

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

Flat 8 is a semi-detached house in Topsham, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0HL). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 31–39 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2018); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in September 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 311.9% above the 1999 sale of £33,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (54 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 8 is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX3 0HL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 8. 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 Flat 8 was lodged in February 2020 at band E and is valid until February 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 8. 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 0HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 8 is in council tax band A. 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.
