Overview

About 17 Vespasian Road

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

17 Vespasian Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 118 m² it's 21.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 10 EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£500/sq ft) was about 63.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £635,000 in December 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
