5a, Blackboy Road, Exeter, EX4 6SG
About 5a
5a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 6SG). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 336 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 31 m² this is the 4th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.
At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 27.1% above the 2016 sale price.
