198 Derby Road, Southampton, SO14 0DS

198 Derby Road is a mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO14 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 87 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 26 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 21.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 175.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: change of use to residential refused in 2010.
