About Ashcombe
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ashcombe is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Totnes (TQ9 5AG). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in December 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 sits 435% above the 2003 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 75.6% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ashcombe is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5AG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Ashcombe. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ashcombe was lodged in May 2016 at band B and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Ashcombe. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 5AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ashcombe is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
