Overview

About 5 Cossham Road

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

5 Cossham Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS5 8DR). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 159.1% above the 2003 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 27.6% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Cossham Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS5 8DR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Cossham 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 5 Cossham Road was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 5 Cossham 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 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS5 8DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Cossham 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.
