About 13 Alver Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Alver Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5HW). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
