Overview

About 52 Shepherds Close

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

52 Shepherds Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bartley, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
