Overview

About 49a

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

49a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO19 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 is 47.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 22% below the postcode norm.
