About 16a
16a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Drayton, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £523,000 sits 81.6% above the 2007 sale of £288,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 20% below the postcode norm. At 154 m² it's 28.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 8 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
