Overview

About 1 Northernhay Square

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

1 Northernhay Square is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 3ES). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 is 36.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
