Overview

About 6 Higher Island

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

6 Higher Island is a detached house in Blackawton, Totnes, Totnes (TQ9 7BX). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–152 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 8 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 is 39% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£863/sq ft) was about 435.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in September 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

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 6 Higher Island is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 7BX. 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 6 Higher Island. 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 6 Higher Island was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 6 Higher Island. 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 1 school and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TQ9 7BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Higher Island is in council tax band E. 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.
