Overview

About 18 Bracken Hall

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

18 Bracken Hall is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Chilworth, Southampton, Southampton (SO16 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 84 m² this is the 4th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–185 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 17 units on file. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 84 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 16 EPCs). Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 is 39.5% above the 2007 sale price.
