Overview

About 4 Rectory Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Rectory Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO6 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 78.2% above the 2009 sale of £238,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 31.7% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
