3 Bramble Mews, Southampton, SO18 5SZ

3 Bramble Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO18 5SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 5th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (69 versus a worst of 45). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. 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 £130,000 is 23.8% above the 2008 sale price.
