About 17 Guildford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Guildford Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5HU). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 sits 56.7% above the 2009 sale of £120,000.
