About 53 Bradford Road
53 Bradford Road is a mid-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 313.8% above the 1998 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 54.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
