About 28 Cottage View
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
28 Cottage View is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO1 1LU). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 sits 84.2% above the 2015 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 28 Cottage View is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 1LU. 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 28 Cottage View. 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 28 Cottage View was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 28 Cottage View. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO1 1LU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 28 Cottage View is in council tax band A. 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.
