About 8 West Street
8 West Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 437.9% above the 1995 sale of £58,000.
