4 Argyle Terrace, Totnes, TQ9 5JJ

4 Argyle Terrace is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Held since September 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 sits 69% above the 2004 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 26.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, solar panel installation and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
