How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 3LY. 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.

About 3a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3a is a mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO15 3LY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 62 m² this is the 12th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–192 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (58 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in August 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 27.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 19.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3a is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 3LY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3a. 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 3a was lodged in February 2012 at band D and expired in February 2022, 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. None is matched to 3a. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO15 3LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
