Overview

About 17 Shepherds Close

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

17 Shepherds Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bartley, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 949 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 is 42.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 15.7% below the postcode norm.
