Overview

About Ludbrook Cottage

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

Ludbrook Cottage is a semi-detached house in West Lyng, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 869 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Ludbrook Cottage is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for Ludbrook 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 Ludbrook Cottage was lodged in July 2011 at band E and expired in July 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Ludbrook 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
Ludbrook Cottage 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.
