Overview

About 3 Portland Avenue

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

3 Portland Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Grimsby (DN32 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 is 37.6% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 3 Portland Avenue is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DN32 0AA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Portland Avenue. 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 3 Portland Avenue was lodged in March 2015 at band C and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Portland Avenue. 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 DN32 0AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Portland Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
