Overview

About 5 Elms Close

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

5 Elms Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Taunton (TA1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 51.9% above the 2013 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 42.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. At 82 m² it's 18.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 7 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Elms Close is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 1EL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Elms Close. 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 5 Elms Close was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Elms Close. 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 1EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Elms Close is in council tax band D. 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.
