About 3a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO15 5FL). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 9th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–124 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 18.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 31.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in June 2016.

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 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO15 5FL. 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 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 July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO15 5FL, 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.
