How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 3EN. 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 Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 3EN). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 64 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 5 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 27% above the 2024 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 25% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: February 2024 at £115,000.

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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 3EN. 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 Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, 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. None is matched to Flat 2. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 3EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 is in council tax band A. 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.
