About Near Home
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Near Home is a detached house in East Lyng, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5AS). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 83 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 is 43% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 67.6% 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 Near Home is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 5AS. 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 Near Home. 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 Near Home was lodged in March 2022 at band E and is valid until March 2032. 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 Near Home. 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 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 5AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
