About Sydore

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

Sydore is a detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2JP). It has a recorded floor area of 696 m² (around 7492 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 12 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused.
