About 38 Hudson Road
38 Hudson Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 1HD). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 67.6% above the 2007 sale of £166,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
