About 5 Groats

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

5 Groats is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 3NX). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £175,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 is 11.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 49.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
