Overview

About Ebford Cottage

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

Ebford Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Ebford, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0QT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1183 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

At 110 m² it sits well below the postcode median (166 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £862,000 is 37.9% above the 2016 sale price.

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 Ebford Cottage is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX3 0QT. 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 Ebford Cottage. 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 Ebford Cottage was lodged in June 2010 at band E and expired in June 2020, 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. 6 applications are matched to Ebford Cottage. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX3 0QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Ebford Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
