Overview

About 5 Cobden Gardens

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

5 Cobden Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 1LN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1081 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 48.3% above the 2009 sale price.
