Overview

About 20 Botley Road

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

20 Botley Road is a semi-detached house in Park Gate, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–157 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 21 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 is 17.5% below the 2021 sale of £555,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,357/sq ft) was about 798.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: February 2021 at £555,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.
