About 23 Craven Street
23 Craven Street is a two-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO14 1AX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 60 m² this is the 10th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–114 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since July 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 is 10.9% above the 2008 sale price.
