About Fountain House
Fountain House is a mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 1EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 89 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Fountain House, where floor areas span 42–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 89 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 46 EPCs). Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. Across 1996–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 29.4% above the 2018 sale price.
