About Flat
Flat is a mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 125 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (37–125 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2020–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 43.7% below the 2021 sale of £410,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 96.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: May 2021 at £410,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
