2 Courtenay Manor, Grafton Road, Torquay, TQ1 1UN

2 Courtenay Manor is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1UN). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2011. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 221.7% above the 1998 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 57% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
