About Northernhay Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Northernhay Lodge is a two-bedroom detached house in Exeter (EX4 3SA). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£526/sq ft) was about 53.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2020 for £255,000.

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 Northernhay Lodge is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 3SA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Northernhay Lodge. 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 Northernhay Lodge was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Northernhay Lodge. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 3SA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Northernhay Lodge is in council tax band B. 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.
