About 18 Blake Road
18 Blake Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS7 9UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 151.4% above the 2009 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 38% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
