About 27a

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

27a is a semi-detached house in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2017) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59).

Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 is 11.7% below the 2008 sale of £300,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 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 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
