5 Berkshire Drive, Exeter, EX4 1NE
About 5 Berkshire Drive
5 Berkshire Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Exeter (EX4 1NE). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 833 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 40% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
