About 1 Arthur Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Arthur Road is a detached house in Southampton (SO15 5DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 297 m² (around 3197 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 297 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £679,000 sits 385% above the 1996 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 78.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2013. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 1 Arthur Road is modelled from its 297 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 5DZ. 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 1 Arthur 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 1 Arthur Road was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
