Orchard Cottage is a semi-detached house in Ebford, Exeter, Exeter (EX3 0QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Sold November 2021 for £455,000. 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 7.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£480/sq ft) was about 81% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
