About 3 Browning Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Browning Avenue is a semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO6 4PE). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–121 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 28 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £128,000 sits 341.4% above the 1997 sale of £29,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 50.8% below the postcode norm. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (62 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Browning Avenue is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PO6 4PE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Browning Avenue. 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 3 Browning Avenue was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, 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 3 Browning Avenue. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO6 4PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Browning Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
