About 8 Bradford Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Bradford Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Taunton (TA1 4YH). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1352 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 126 m² it's 25.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 23 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 is 38.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 64.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Bradford Close is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 4YH. 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 8 Bradford 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 8 Bradford Close was lodged in October 2009 at band E and expired in October 2019, 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 8 Bradford 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 4YH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Bradford Close is in council tax band F. 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.
