Overview

About 1 Start Bay Heights

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

1 Start Bay Heights is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Strete, Dartmouth, Dartmouth (TQ6 0RU). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 44.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
