23 Ecton Lane is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 5TA). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Ecton Lane is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 5TA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Ecton Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 23 Ecton Lane was lodged in February 2023 at band E and is valid until February 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Ecton Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO3 5TA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Ecton Lane is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
