Overview

About 5 Church Close

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

5 Church Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Locks Heath, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 6LR). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 54.2% below the postcode norm. At 57 m² it's 25.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 34 EPCs).
