Overview

About 5 Chafen Road

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

5 Chafen Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO18 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1212 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 108% above the 2009 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 36.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision refused in 2014.
