Overview

About 4 May Road

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

4 May Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO15 3GN). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
