Overview

About 16a

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

16a is a detached house in Exeter (EX4 4SD). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 469 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 16a (44–54 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to E, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 48). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (239 m² across 22 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. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 44.4% above the 2004 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 51.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 4SD. 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 16a. 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 16a was lodged in March 2010 at band F and expired in March 2020, 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. 2 applications are matched to 16a. 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 4SD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
