About Benton
Benton is a semi-detached house in Bristol (BS9 2BP). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £749,000 sits 77.7% above the 2009 sale of £421,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 39.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
