Overview

About 252 Orpen Road

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

252 Orpen Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southampton (SO19 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 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 November 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 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 £232,000 sits 78.5% above the 2008 sale of £130,000.
