5a, Duckmoor Road, Bristol, BS3 2DD

5a is an end-of-terrace house in Bristol (BS3 2DD). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (40 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 43.9% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 96.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
