About 493 Gloucester Road
493 Gloucester Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Horfield, Bristol, Bristol (BS7 8UG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 649 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
