Overview

About 3 Bowcombe

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

3 Bowcombe is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Netley Abbey, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 5GP). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1123 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 sits 56.5% above the 2009 sale of £222,950. At 104 m² it's 25.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 39 EPCs).
