About 185 Filton Avenue
185 Filton Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Horfield, Bristol, Bristol (BS7 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 119.7% above the 2007 sale of £187,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
