About 4 Genoa House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Genoa House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Port Solent, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 4UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
