How the estimate is made
The estimate for Guardsman Court is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 5AJ. 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 Guardsman Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Guardsman Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 sits 70.1% above the 2009 sale of £107,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 Guardsman Court is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO1 5AJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Guardsman Court. 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 Guardsman Court was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Guardsman Court. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO1 5AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Guardsman Court is in council tax band B. 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.
