7 Eastbourne Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO15 5HU). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 4th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–138 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 70 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 21 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 20% above the 2009 sale price.
