About Netley Castle
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 4th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Netley Castle, where floor areas span 64–198 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£700/sq ft) was about 93.2% 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).
