How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 West Street is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 3AU. 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.

About 8 West Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £267,000 sits 360.3% above the 1995 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 67.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

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 8 West Street is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 3AU. 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 8 West Street. 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 8 West Street was lodged in April 2013 at band E and expired in April 2023, 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 8 West Street. 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 3AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 West Street is in council tax band D. 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.
