Overview

About 12 Hilldowns Avenue

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

12 Hilldowns Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO2 8QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 78.5% above the 2010 sale of £130,000.
