About 20 Austen Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Austen Drive is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Weston Super Mare (BS22 7UY). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (41–104 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 43.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 24.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 Austen Drive is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS22 7UY. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 20 Austen Drive. 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 20 Austen Drive was lodged in June 2019 at band C and is valid until June 2029. 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 20 Austen Drive. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS22 7UY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Austen Drive is in council tax band A. 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.
