Overview

About 1 Gatehouse Court

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

1 Gatehouse Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Taunton (TA1 1RX). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 9th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–60 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
