Overview

About 5 Hamber Lea

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Hamber Lea is a four-bedroom detached house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1376 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 63.6% above the 2009 sale of £249,950.
