Overview

About 1 Benhams Road

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

1 Benhams Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Southampton (SO18 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good.
