About 2 Castle Close
2 Castle Close is an end-of-terrace house in Southsea (PO5 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1342 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 6 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. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 is 42.6% above the 2008 sale price.
