Overview

About 158a

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

158a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 69 m² this is the 15th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (74 versus a worst of 41). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 69 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 22 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 30.4% above the 2009 sale price.
