Overview

About 5 Embsay Road

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

5 Embsay Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swanwick, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 7DH). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £341,000 is 17.6% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£287/sq ft) was about 38.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
