Overview

About 43 Chafen Road

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

43 Chafen Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 290% above the 2001 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm.
