Overview

About Allways

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

Allways is a five-bedroom detached house in Maidencombe, Torquay, Torquay (TQ1 4TA). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1672 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 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. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £658,000 is 44.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 18.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
