Overview

About Apple Wharf

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

Apple Wharf is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Totnes (TQ9 5QL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. At 105 m² this is the 20th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in Apple Wharf, where floor areas span 47–118 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (43 versus a best of 78). Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 105 m² it's 28% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 22 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 82.2% above the 2003 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 21.5% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Apple Wharf is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 5QL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Apple Wharf. 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 Apple Wharf was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apple Wharf. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 5QL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Apple Wharf is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
