14 Bitterne Road West is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 77 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 sits 88.5% above the 2009 sale of £129,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 77.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
