41 Alpine Road, Bristol, BS5 6BE

41 Alpine Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS5 6BE). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since February 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 609.3% above the 1999 sale of £48,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 72.5% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
