About 18 Church Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Bicknoller, Taunton, Taunton (TA4 4EL). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold April 2022 for £470,000. Across the public record there are 5 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 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £525,000 is 11.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 32.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 18 Church Lane is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 4EL. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 18 Church Lane. 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 18 Church Lane was lodged in April 2012 at band D and expired in April 2022, 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 18 Church Lane. 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 1 school and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 4EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Church Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
