Overview

About 20 Dale Valley Close

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

20 Dale Valley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO16 6QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 10% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£442/sq ft) was about 42.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
