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

8 Forster Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO14 6RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1078 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
