Overview

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.
