Overview

About 8 Rowborough Road

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

8 Rowborough Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO18 4RS). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
