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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Rectory Avenue is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO6 1AL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Rectory Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Rectory Avenue was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Rectory Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO6 1AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Rectory Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
