Overview

About 57 Kensington Road

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

57 Kensington Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO2 0DY). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £182,000 is 10.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 52.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 57 Kensington Road is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO2 0DY. 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 57 Kensington Road. 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 57 Kensington Road 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 57 Kensington Road. 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 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO2 0DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
57 Kensington Road 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.
