Overview

About 78 Beresford Road

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

78 Beresford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1309 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump.
