About 1 Vulcan Road
1 Vulcan Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO15 4JN). 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 (March 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2022 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 sits 78.5% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
