About 5 Dorking Crescent
5 Dorking Crescent is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Portsmouth (PO6 2QL). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 305.4% above the 1996 sale of £74,000.
