About 1 Northfields
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Northfields is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishops Hull, Taunton, Taunton (TA1 5DR). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since October 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 419.2% above the 2005 sale of £52,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 80.6% below the postcode norm.

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 Northfields is modelled from its 159 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5DR. 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 1 Northfields. 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 Northfields was lodged in June 2013 at band C and expired in June 2023, 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 1 Northfields. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 5DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Northfields 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.
