About 3 Backham Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Backham Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in North Curry, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6ND). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 61.7% above the 2012 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 32.4% 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 3 Backham Cottages is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 6ND. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Backham Cottages. 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 3 Backham Cottages was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, 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. None is matched to 3 Backham Cottages. 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 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 6ND, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Backham Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
