73 First Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Farlington, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 1JW). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 71.9% above the 2012 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 16.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
