Overview

About The Hermitage

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

The Hermitage is a seven-bedroom detached house in Netley Abbey, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 5FF). It has a recorded floor area of 424 m² (around 4564 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a conservatory, a self-contained annexe and outbuildings. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor.

It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 424 m² the property is well over the postcode median (203 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,560,000 sits 550% above the 1999 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 80.1% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 The Hermitage is modelled from its 424 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 5FF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for The Hermitage. 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 The Hermitage was lodged in July 2025 at band C and is valid until July 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to The Hermitage. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 5FF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Hermitage 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.
