About Northview Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Northview Cottage is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bristol (BS3 3LF). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1534 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £459,000 sits 227.9% above the 2011 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 23.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, a loft conversion and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in November 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.

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 Northview Cottage is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS3 3LF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Northview Cottage. 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 Northview Cottage was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Northview Cottage. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS3 3LF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Northview Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
