About 30 Montgomerie Road
30 Montgomerie Road is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 74.3% above the 2008 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
