Overview

About 8 Battenburg Avenue

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

8 Battenburg Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO2 0SH). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 sits 60.9% above the 2011 sale of £179,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. At 121 m² it's 19.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 13 EPCs). Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
