About 4 Alton Road
4 Alton Road is a mid-terrace house in Bristol (BS7 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 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 £334,000 sits 417.8% above the 1998 sale of £64,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 68.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 24 EPCs).
