Overview

About 42 Highbury Road

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

42 Highbury Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Horfield, Bristol, Bristol (BS7 0BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 139.1% above the 2008 sale of £217,500.
