About The Nest
The Nest is a mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 1EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (47 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year.
