How the estimate is made
The estimate for 198 Derby Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO14 0DS. 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.

About 198 Derby Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 198 Derby Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO14 0DS. 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 198 Derby Road. 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 198 Derby Road was lodged in May 2013 at band E and expired in May 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 198 Derby Road. 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 19 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO14 0DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 198 Derby Road is in council tax band B. 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.
