About 15 Chafen Road
15 Chafen Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO18 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
