About 8 Gareth Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Gareth Crescent is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 9EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 558 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2011, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 40.6% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 62.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Gareth Crescent is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in EX4 9EJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 Gareth Crescent. 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 8 Gareth Crescent was lodged in August 2010 at band E and expired in August 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Gareth Crescent. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from EX4 9EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Gareth Crescent is in council tax band B. 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.
