Overview

About 2 Pola House

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

2 Pola House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO2 9AF). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2022) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 4 certificates since December 2008. At 51 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 77). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 is 33.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm.
