How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Elder Cottage is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 6TH.

About 2 Elder Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Elder Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hatch Beauchamp, Taunton, Taunton (TA3 6TH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 101 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 58–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 31% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 18.1% 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 2 Elder Cottage is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA3 6TH. 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 2 Elder 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 2 Elder Cottage was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 2 Elder 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 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA3 6TH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Elder Cottage 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.
