Overview

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.
