About Highlands
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Highlands is an end-of-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5BL). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 16% above the 2021 sale price. Sold February 2021 for £300,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Highlands is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5BL. 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 Highlands. 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 Highlands was lodged in December 2012 at band E and expired in December 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Highlands. 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 5BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
