Overview

About Barrington House

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

Barrington House is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 61 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Barrington House, where floor areas span 40–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

It hasn't traded since January 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 sits 266.3% above the 2000 sale of £41,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2010.
