About Flat 4
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 4 is a semi-detached house in Southampton (SO15 5BT). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 35 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–39 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 545.7% above the 1997 sale of £17,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 72.3% below the postcode norm. At 35 m² it's 20.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (29 m² median across 19 EPCs).

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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 5BT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in August 2021 at band D and is valid until August 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 4. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO15 5BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
