About 8 Cotton Road
8 Cotton Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 6FL). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 80 m² it's 23.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 53 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 is 48.6% above the 2009 sale price.
