About 221
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
221 is a semi-detached house in Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 5SW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 827 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a G (score 6), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 40), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 is 27.3% above the 2009 sale price.

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 221 is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 5SW. 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 221. 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 221 was lodged in December 2008 at band G and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 221. 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 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 5SW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
