Overview

About 21 Melrose Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

21 Melrose Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO15 7PB). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 50.7% above the 2014 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 39.8% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
