About 16 Benham Drive
16 Benham Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO3 5QW). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2020 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in January 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
