Overview

About Half Acre House

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

Half Acre House is a five-bedroom detached house in Bursledon, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 428 m² (around 4607 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 428 m² the property is well over the postcode median (250 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,472,000 is 46.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 25.7% below the postcode norm. On the market in October 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 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 Half Acre House is modelled from its 428 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 1BH. 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 Half Acre House. 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 Half Acre House was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Half Acre House. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 1BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Half Acre House is in council tax band F. 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.
