Overview

About 12 Elgin Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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.

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Elgin Road is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO6 2SU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 12 Elgin Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Elgin Road was lodged in September 2015 at band D and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 12 Elgin Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO6 2SU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Elgin Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
