How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO2 0BQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO2 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–70 m²). The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a C (score 70).

Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 52.5% below the 2022 sale of £280,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£619/sq ft) was about 166.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 14 EPCs). Sold September 2022 for £280,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO2 0BQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 1 was lodged in October 2018 at band C and is valid until October 2028. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 1. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO2 0BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
