Overview

About 288a

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

288a is a three-bedroom detached house in Lower Swanwick, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 7GT). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 68 m² this is the 13th smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–302 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 45 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 68 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 44 EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 31.6% above the 2008 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 288a is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 7GT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 288a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 288a was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 288a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 7GT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
