Overview

About 178a

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

178a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 5BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
