About 17a
17a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southbourne, Emsworth, Emsworth (PO10 8AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 811 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 54.4% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
