About 47a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
47a is a detached house in Southampton (SO19 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
Held since November 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 418% above the 1997 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 70.5% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 47a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO19 0EL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 47a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 47a was lodged in October 2020 at band D and is valid until October 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 47a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO19 0EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 47a is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
