How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Dover Road is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 6JT. 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.

About 1 Dover Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Dover Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 6JT). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £238,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 115 m² it's 27.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (91 m² median across 44 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 is 18.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 31.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 1 Dover Road is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO3 6JT. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 1 Dover Road. 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 1 Dover Road was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, 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. None is matched to 1 Dover Road. 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO3 6JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Dover Road is in council tax band C. 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.
