About 8a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8a is a one-bedroom detached house in Starcross, Exeter, Exeter (EX6 8QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 515 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
