Overview

About 1 Devonshire Place

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

1 Devonshire Place is a seven-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 6JA). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £590,000 sits 59.5% above the 2009 sale of £370,000. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2006. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
