About Melbourne Court

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

Melbourne Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 3DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 477 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Melbourne Court, where floor areas span 35–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 64). The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band.
