About 17 Dartmouth Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Dartmouth Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 5DT). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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 £226,000 sits 61.4% above the 2007 sale of £140,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
