Overview

About Holford House

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

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.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year.
