Overview

About 4 Ellacombe Road

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

4 Ellacombe Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 3AT). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2018); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 56 m² this is the 8th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 39 units on file.

It hasn't traded since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 41.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it's 26.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 38 EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2011.
