1 Derwent Road, Torquay, TQ1 3QL
About 1 Derwent Road
1 Derwent Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 3QL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 is 49% above the 2009 sale price.
