Overview

About 8 Downs Cote Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Downs Cote Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bristol (BS9 3TP). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 47), 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 September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 125 m² it's 18.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (153 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £696,000 is 49.4% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
