Overview

About 18 Botley Road

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

18 Botley Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Park Gate, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £609,000 is 38.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 46.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 18 Botley Road is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 1AJ. 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 18 Botley Road. 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 18 Botley Road was lodged in March 2016 at band C and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Botley Road. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Botley Road 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.
