About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is a mid-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (20–176 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 26 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 is 41.1% below the 2016 sale of £237,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,103/sq ft) was about 282.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 20 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 10 years since the last transfer (March 2016).

- 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 17a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
