How the estimate is made

About West Cobham
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
West Cobham is a detached house in Exeter (EX4 5ES). It has a recorded floor area of 368 m² (around 3961 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) returns an A (score 93), the top energy band on the EPC scale. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Good to Very Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £815,000 sits 226.1% above the 2008 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 58.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.

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 West Cobham is modelled from its 368 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 5ES. 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 West Cobham. 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 West Cobham was lodged in May 2026 at band A and is valid until May 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to West Cobham. 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 5ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- West Cobham 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.
