Overview

About 8 Downs Cote Gardens

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

8 Downs Cote Gardens is a five-bedroom detached house in Bristol (BS9 3TT). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (150 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £985,000 sits 258.2% above the 1999 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 28% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, a porch and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Downs Cote Gardens is modelled from its 196 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BS9 3TT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Downs Cote Gardens. 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 8 Downs Cote Gardens was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Downs Cote Gardens. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS9 3TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Downs Cote Gardens is in council tax band F. 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.
