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 £257,000 sits 441.1% above the 1995 sale of £47,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 61.9% 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.

Method

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 493 Gloucester Road is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BS7 8UG. 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 493 Gloucester 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 493 Gloucester Road was lodged in December 2008 at band D and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 493 Gloucester 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS7 8UG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
493 Gloucester Road is in council tax band B. 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.
