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 £476,000 sits 53.5% above the 2006 sale of £310,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
