18 Elgin Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO6 2SU). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
