46a, Burleigh Road, Portsmouth, PO1 5RL

46a is an end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5RL). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 55 m² this is the 4th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–104 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 is 17.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 37.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
