About 8 Barton Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Barton Grove is a detached house in Portsmouth (PO3 5TY). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in June 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 180 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 346.3% above the 1996 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 68.6% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Barton Grove is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 5TY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Barton Grove. 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 8 Barton Grove was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Barton Grove. 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 5TY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Barton Grove is in council tax band E. 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.
