Overview

About 20 Church Road

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

20 Church Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4QY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 662 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a G (score 11), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 61 m² it's 22.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 48% above the 2009 sale price.
