Overview

About 12 Cotton Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Cotton Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 6FL). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
