Overview

About 16 Chelmsford Road

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

16 Chelmsford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0JY). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 115 m² it's 20.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 26 EPCs). Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 is 35.6% above the 2017 sale price.
