Overview

About Flat 3

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

Flat 3 is a mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 6AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–53 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (75 versus a worst of 65). The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 29 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 6AZ. 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 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 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 6AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
