Overview

About 23 Myrtle Road

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

23 Myrtle Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO16 5GP). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 28.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 235% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2021 for £190,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
