About 9 Elms Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Elms Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1058 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 is 32.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 47% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

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 9 Elms Close is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 9 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 9 Elms Close was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 9 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
- 9 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.
