About 398b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
398b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS3 5BA). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 56 m² this is the 16th smallest of 41 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–279 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 41 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 56.6% above the 2007 sale of £143,000. At 56 m² it's 26.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 40 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 398b is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BS3 5BA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 398b. 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 398b was lodged in June 2024 at band C and is valid until June 2034. 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 398b. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS3 5BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
