About 18 Benham Grove

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Benham Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Fareham (PO16 9LB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower.
