Overview

About 493 Gloucester Road

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

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. At 60 m² this is the 9th smallest of 44 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–184 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 44 units on file.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 508.4% above the 1995 sale of £47,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 61.8% below the postcode norm. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
