About 1 Ardern Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Ardern Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS9 2QT). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £394,000 is 35.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 88.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Ardern Close is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS9 2QT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Ardern Close. 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 1 Ardern Close was lodged in March 2016 at band C and expired in March 2026, 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. 2 applications are matched to 1 Ardern Close. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS9 2QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Ardern Close is in council tax band C. 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.
