About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 7AY). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The home occupies a corner plot.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 91 m² it's 18.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 is 20.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 159% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2a is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 7AY. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in December 2023 at band E and is valid until December 2033. 2 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 2a. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 7AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2a is in council tax band A. 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.
