Overview

About 189 Bitterne Road West

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

189 Bitterne Road West is a three-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO18 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 sits 272.2% above the 1999 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 62% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused.
