5 Westminster Road, Exeter, EX4 2LL

5 Westminster Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 2LL). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 30.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
