How the estimate is made
The estimate for 129 High Street is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 2HW.

About 129 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
129 High Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 2HW). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1291 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in August 2002. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £540,000 sits 100% above the 2002 sale of £269,995.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 129 High Street is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 2HW. 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 129 High Street. 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 129 High Street was lodged in July 2010 at band E and expired in July 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 129 High Street. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO1 2HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 129 High Street is in council tax band E. 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.
