About Martins Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Martins Farm is a detached house in Bartley, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £613,000 is 46.7% below the 2022 sale of £1,150,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,747/sq ft) was about 584% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 35 planning records sit against the property, 21 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold February 2022 for £1,150,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Martins Farm is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 2LH. 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 Martins Farm. 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 Martins Farm was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, 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. 35 applications are matched to Martins Farm. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO40 2LH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Martins Farm 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.
