About 12c
12c is a two-bedroom detached house in Exeter (EX4 6EW). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 83 m² this is the 16th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–232 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 40 units on file.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 83 m² it's 20.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 39 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £227,000 is 38% above the 2007 sale price.
