1a, Queenstown Road, Southampton, SO15 3BG

1a is a three-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO15 3BG). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 38.6% above the 2007 sale price.
