About 10 Alver Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Alver Road is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5HW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 sits 51.2% above the 2007 sale of £125,000.

At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 46 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
