Overview

About 4 Dorchester Road

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

4 Dorchester Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS7 0LA). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the 5th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since September 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 109.5% above the 2004 sale of £105,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 58 m² it's 23.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 25 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs).

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Dorchester Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BS7 0LA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Dorchester Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Dorchester Road was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 4 Dorchester Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS7 0LA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Dorchester Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
