About 13 Dower Road
13 Dower Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 4JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 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. At 101 m² it's 16.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 27.4% above the 2007 sale price.
