Overview

About 1 Earls Court

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

1 Earls Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 4HF). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 Earls Court (39–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (61 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year.
