Overview

About Amara

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

Amara is a three-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO15 8QB). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1430 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 42.5% above the 2010 sale price.
