Overview

About The Lighthouse

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

The Lighthouse is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 862 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 80 m² this is the 3rd 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 across 5 units on file. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 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. Across 2009–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 11.8% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: April 2021 at £195,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
