About Top Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Top Flat is a semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 1EA). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

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 Top Flat is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 1EA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Top Flat. 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 Top Flat was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, 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 Top Flat. 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 1EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
