Overview

About Dolphins Bend

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

Dolphins Bend is a semi-detached house in Saul, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL2 7LN). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 54.8% above the 2006 sale of £310,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.

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 Dolphins Bend is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL2 7LN. 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 Dolphins Bend. 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 Dolphins Bend was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to Dolphins Bend. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL2 7LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Dolphins Bend is in council tax band D. 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.
