Overview

About The Croft

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

The Croft is a six-bedroom detached house in Bursledon, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 8DH). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,416,000 is 19.5% below the 2021 sale of £1,760,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£4,955/sq ft) was about 1703.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (257 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £1,760,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 The Croft is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 8DH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Croft. 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 The Croft was lodged in January 2024 at band D and is valid until January 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to The Croft. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 8DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Croft is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
