Overview

About 18 Abbots Close

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

18 Abbots Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Woolsery, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 5SP). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 141% above the 2007 sale of £97,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 52% below the postcode norm.
