7a, Cambridge Road, Torquay, TQ1 4QN
About 7a
7a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 4QN). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 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 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
