Overview

About America Lodge

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

America Lodge is a detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,594,000 is 29.2% below the 2021 sale of £2,250,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,111/sq ft) was about 825.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold January 2021 for £2,250,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
