About 12 Elgin Road
12 Elgin Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO6 2SU). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£291/sq ft) was about 60.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £370,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
