Overview

About 5 Botany Bay Road

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

5 Botany Bay Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southampton (SO19 8LT). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
