About Jubilee Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Jubilee Cottage is a detached house in West Lyng, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £675,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 176 m² it's 28.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £756,000 is 12% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 107.6% 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 Jubilee Cottage is modelled from its 176 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 5AJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Jubilee Cottage. 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 Jubilee Cottage was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 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. 2 applications are matched to Jubilee Cottage. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 5AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Jubilee Cottage 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.
