Overview

About 3 Northfield Road

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

3 Northfield Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Taunton (TA1 1XE). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 97 m² this is the 6th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–244 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to A, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 97). The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 20.9% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 20.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2019 at £243,100.
