Overview

About 1 Birchwood Close

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

1 Birchwood Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Totnes (TQ9 5GB). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 is 12.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£316/sq ft) was about 45.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £350,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
