Overview

About 9 Forest Hills Drive

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

9 Forest Hills Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 2FX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 144% above the 2007 sale of £116,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 49.9% below the postcode norm.
