About Valley Ridge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Valley Ridge is a four-bedroom detached house in Bursledon, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 8EP). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 is 34.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£334/sq ft) was about 41.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (October 2016).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Valley Ridge is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 8EP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Valley Ridge. 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 Valley Ridge was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Valley Ridge. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 8EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Valley Ridge is in council tax band E. 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.
