About 38 First Avenue
38 First Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farlington, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 1JN). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009.
