About 56 Wessex Avenue
56 Wessex Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS7 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 102.7% above the 2009 sale of £183,000.
