5 Greenacres, Wrefords Lane, Exeter, EX4 5BS
About 5 Greenacres
5 Greenacres is a semi-detached house in Exeter (EX4 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 98 m² it's 25.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 35 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 is 47.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm.
