51a, Bridge Road, Park Gate, Southampton, SO31 7GG

51a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Park Gate, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 7GG). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 604 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 56 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 18.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£513/sq ft) was about 160.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
