Netley Castle is a detached house in Netley Abbey, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 5FA). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from 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.

6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 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 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year.
