About 238a

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

238a is a mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS3 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 11th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
