How the estimate is made

About 8 Chester Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Chester Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS5 7AX). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.
Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 92.6% above the 2014 sale of £174,995. At 91 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 19 EPCs). Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

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 8 Chester Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS5 7AX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Chester Road. 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 8 Chester Road was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Chester Road. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS5 7AX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Chester Road is in council tax band B. 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.
