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.

About 21 Bettysmead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Bettysmead is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Exeter (EX4 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.
At 74 m² it's 15.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 28 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 is 39.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 33.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in October 2015.

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 21 Bettysmead is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 8LN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 21 Bettysmead. 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 21 Bettysmead was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 21 Bettysmead. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 8LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Bettysmead 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.
