Overview

About 12 Alma Road

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

12 Alma Road is a semi-detached house in Southampton (SO14 6UP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 82 m² this is the 7th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–208 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 31 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 52.2% below the 2025 sale of £460,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£521/sq ft) was about 623.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer was April 2025 at £460,000 — fresh data. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Alma Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO14 6UP. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 12 Alma 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 12 Alma Road was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, 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 12 Alma 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO14 6UP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
