Local market context
96 First Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Farlington, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 1JP). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 69.1% above the 2009 sale of £228,250. At 87 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 12 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
