About 1 Compton Street
1 Compton Street is a one-bedroom detached house in Bristol (BS5 9RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (43–72 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 46.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 93.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
