How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Higher Palmerston Road is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 1DT. 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 2 Higher Palmerston Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Higher Palmerston Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Taunton (TA1 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 895 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £161,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 10.6% above the 2021 sale price.

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 2 Higher Palmerston Road is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 1DT. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 2 Higher Palmerston Road. 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 2 Higher Palmerston Road was lodged in February 2012 at band D and expired in February 2022, 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 2 Higher Palmerston Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 1DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Higher Palmerston Road is in council tax band A. 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.
