About 263a
263a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 7BN). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 333% above the 1999 sale of £36,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 56.5% below the postcode norm.
