Overview

About Romena

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

Romena is a detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1HB). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 113 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (149 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
