21 Livingstone Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Southsea (PO5 1RS). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

Held since September 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. At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 sits 262.8% above the 1998 sale of £142,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 55.8% below the postcode norm.
