About Netley Castle
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Netley Castle is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Netley Abbey, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 5FA). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 83 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Netley Castle, where floor areas span 72–239 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 10 units on file.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £733,000 is 17.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£700/sq ft) was about 101.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 83 m² it's 16.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 19 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Netley Castle is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 5FA. 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 Netley Castle. 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 Netley Castle was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, 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. 7 applications are matched to Netley Castle. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 5FA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Netley Castle is in council tax band G. 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.
