About 15 Alver Road
15 Alver Road is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5HW). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 sits 69.5% above the 2008 sale of £128,000.
