Overview

About 15 Fountain Square

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

15 Fountain Square is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gloucester (GL1 2QY). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2009); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 43 m² this is the 8th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 51 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 56.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 33.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 42.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
