About The Lighthouse

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

The Lighthouse is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. At 127 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in The Lighthouse, where floor areas span 72–151 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 46). Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 is 17.8% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: October 2019 at £213,000.
