Overview

About 17 Elms Close

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

17 Elms Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 33.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 40.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 12 years since the last transfer (June 2014). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
