About 9a

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

9a is a mid-terrace house in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 22 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (22–107 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2018–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 54.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 94.7% below the 2024 sale of £2,800,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£11,824/sq ft) was about 4995.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 22 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 42 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold February 2024 for £2,800,000.
