About Marina View
Marina View is a semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1219 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
