About 12 Somerset Place
12 Somerset Place is an end-of-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5AX). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 349.7% above the 1998 sale of £82,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 68.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
