About 17 Alver Road
17 Alver Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5HW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 57.6% above the 2007 sale of £131,995.
