Overview

About 8 Church Close

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

8 Church Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Locks Heath, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 6LR). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 is 45.8% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£380/sq ft) was about 43.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
