About 1 River View Road
1 River View Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Southampton (SO18 1NW). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
