About London House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
London House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wiveliscombe, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 2JP). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 153 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across London House (36–153 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 75). Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 sits 359.5% above the 2000 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£22/sq ft) was about 73.6% below the postcode norm.

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 London House is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 2JP. 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 London House. 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 London House was lodged in February 2024 at band E and is valid until February 2034. 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 London House. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 2JP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- London House is in council tax band A. 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.
