Overview

About 1 Centre Cottages

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

1 Centre Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitestone, Exeter, Exeter (EX4 2LA). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 112), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
