Get started47a is a five-bedroom detached house in Failand, Bristol, Bristol (BS8 3UR). It has a recorded floor area of 272 m² (around 2928 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

At 272 m² the property is well over the postcode median (197 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
