About 20 Monks Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Monks Road is an end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 7AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 60 m² this is the 6th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–151 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 44). The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at -8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 26.2% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 70.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in March 2017.

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 20 Monks Road is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 7AZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 20 Monks Road. 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 20 Monks Road was lodged in April 2016 at band C and expired in April 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. 3 applications are matched to 20 Monks Road. 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 7AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Monks Road is in council tax band C. 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.
