How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4a is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5PD. 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 4a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taunton (TA1 5PD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 80 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 66–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 10 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 232.6% above the 1997 sale of £44,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 78.9% 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 4a is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA1 5PD. 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 4a. 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 4a was lodged in May 2021 at band D and is valid until May 2031. 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 4a. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA1 5PD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4a 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.
