About 12a
12a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS15 8DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 64% above the 2017 sale of £250,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
