8 Audret Close, Fareham, PO16 9ER

8 Audret Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Fareham (PO16 9ER). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 sits 68% above the 2008 sale of £218,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 44% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 4 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). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
