Hunters Moon, Flat 1, 500 Babbacombe Road, Torquay, TQ1 1HL
About Hunters Moon
Hunters Moon is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1HL). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 114 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Hunters Moon (40–114 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 8 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, partial demolition and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 26.8% above the 2009 sale price.
