West Cottage, West Street, Emsworth, PO10 7DY

West Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Emsworth (PO10 7DY). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1223 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £384,000 sits 78.6% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 36.2% below the postcode norm.
