About 23 Highfield Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Highfield Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 1LP). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 73 m² this is the 15th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–152 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 32 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 70.8% above the 2011 sale of £96,000. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
