Get started32 Alma Road is a nine-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO14 6UP). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2120 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced Southampton HPI: 11.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 is 45.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 112.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs). 9 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
Council records include a part-single-part-two-storey rear extension at 32 Alma Road.
Redevelopment of the site by the demolition of the existing dwellings (with the exception of the single-storey rear extensions) and erection of 2 x two-storey, six-bed, semi-detached dwellings with rooms in the roof and associated car parking, with the provision of a single storey detached store to the rear to serve 30 and 32 Alma Road (resubmission and variation to 09/00410/FUL ).
