Overview

About 42 Seafield Road

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

42 Seafield Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 5AR). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 58.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £217,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
