About 6 Locarno Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Locarno Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO3 5DG). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 39.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
