Overton, West View Avenue, Bideford, EX39 4AL
About Overton
Overton is a three-bedroom detached house in Bideford (EX39 4AL). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1996 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £315,000 sits 284.1% above the 1996 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 69.4% below the postcode norm.
