How the estimate is made
The estimate for 38 Copnor Road is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 5AH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 38 Copnor Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Copnor Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 5AH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 5th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 24 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 is 40% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 40.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 38 Copnor Road is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 5AH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 38 Copnor Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 38 Copnor Road was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 38 Copnor Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO3 5AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Copnor Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
