How the estimate is made
The estimate for 18 Vulcan Road is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 4JN. 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 18 Vulcan Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Vulcan Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO15 4JN). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, 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 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 80.4% above the 2008 sale of £194,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 15% below the postcode norm.

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 18 Vulcan Road is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 4JN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Vulcan Road. 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 18 Vulcan Road was lodged in February 2022 at band C and is valid until February 2032. 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 18 Vulcan Road. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO15 4JN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Vulcan Road is in council tax band C. 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.
