14 Brake Close, Bristol, BS15 9TW

14 Brake Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS15 9TW). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 372.3% above the 1999 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
