41 Wessex Avenue, Bristol, BS7 0DE

41 Wessex Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS7 0DE). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 sits 573.8% above the 1997 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 74.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
