Local market context
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. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 81.5% above the 2007 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 19.4% below the postcode norm.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
