Overview

About 4 Groats

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

4 Groats is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3NX). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 is 48.5% above the 2007 sale price.
