Overview

About 18 Dale Valley Close

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

18 Dale Valley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO16 6QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 50.3% above the 2008 sale of £199,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 71 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 14 EPCs).
