About 17 Dover Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Dover Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO3 6JT). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 81.3% above the 2006 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm.
