How the estimate is made

The estimate for 72a is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5AP. 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.

Overview

About 72a

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

72a is a semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 5AP). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, main heating went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 sits 62.1% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 27.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 72a is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5AP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 72a. 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 72a was lodged in September 2014 at band C and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 72a. 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 5AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
72a is in council tax band C. 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.
