5 Benhams Road, Southampton, SO18 2FG

5 Benhams Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO18 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 79.3% above the 2009 sale of £135,000.
