Overview

About 40 Chessel Avenue

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

40 Chessel Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO19 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 is 37.2% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£515/sq ft) was about 130.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2018 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 40 Chessel Avenue is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO19 4DX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 40 Chessel Avenue. 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 40 Chessel Avenue was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 40 Chessel Avenue. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO19 4DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
40 Chessel Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
