About 8 Durban Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Durban Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO1 5RR). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010.
