How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Drummond Road is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 4HP. 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.

About 8 Drummond Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Drummond Road is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 4HP). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2004–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 32.3% below the 2020 sale of £220,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£487/sq ft) was about 283.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: March 2020 at £220,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.

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 8 Drummond Road is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 4HP. 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 8 Drummond Road. 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 8 Drummond Road was lodged in September 2015 at band C and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Drummond Road. 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 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO1 4HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Drummond Road 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.
