How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Cedar Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 2SE. 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.

About 1 Cedar Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Cedar Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 2SE). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On the market in December 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across the public record there are 7 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 is 43.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 58.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Cedar Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 2SE. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 1 Cedar 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 1 Cedar Close was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 1 Cedar 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 2SE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Cedar Close is in council tax band B. 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.
