23 South Street, Havant, PO9 1BU

23 South Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Havant (PO9 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2007 — 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. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 14 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £514,000 is 46.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm.
