About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 3RG). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–34 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 215.8% above the 1999 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 41.7% below the postcode norm. At 32 m² it's 28.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (45 m² median across 16 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 3RG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 3. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 3 was lodged in May 2018 at band E and is valid until May 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 3. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 3RG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
