About Holford House
Holford House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portbury, Bristol, Bristol (BS20 7TF). It has a recorded floor area of 269 m² (around 2895 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.
