Overview

About 20 Upton Road

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

20 Upton Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 4AH). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump.
