Wolverton, Asheldon Road, Torquay, TQ1 2QN
About Wolverton
Wolverton is a semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2QN). It has a recorded floor area of 482 m² (around 5188 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 482 m² the property is well over the postcode median (183 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, subdivision, tree works and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,049,000 is 37.7% above the 2007 sale price.
