53 Farlington Road is a mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO2 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 340.3% above the 1997 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 67% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
