Overview

About 3 Courtenay Manor

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

3 Courtenay Manor is a semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 1UN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 71 m² this is the 5th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 66–76 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), 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.

It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £156,000 sits 202.9% above the 2000 sale of £51,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
