Overview

About 4 Diligence Close

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

4 Diligence Close is a semi-detached house in Bursledon, Southampton, Southampton (SO31 8GU). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 25 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (25–66 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 39 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (41 m² across 38 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Diligence Close is modelled from its 25 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO31 8GU. 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 4 Diligence Close. 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 4 Diligence Close was lodged in December 2022 at band D and is valid until December 2032. 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 4 Diligence Close. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO31 8GU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Diligence Close is in council tax band A. 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.
