About 5 Chelmsford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Chelmsford Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0JY). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 51.5% above the 2013 sale of £227,000. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
