About Kenilworth
Kenilworth is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the 9th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in Kenilworth, where floor areas span 60–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 is 20.6% above the 2009 sale price.
