25 Rugby Road, Southsea, PO5 1SH
About 25 Rugby Road
25 Rugby Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 1SH). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 46.7% above the 2007 sale price.
