105a, Fore Street, St Marychurch, Torquay, TQ1 4PZ

105a is an end-of-terrace house in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 384 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–123 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 165% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
