About Beechwood House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Beechwood House is a two-bedroom detached house in Bartley, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2LP). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 27.4% above the 2009 sale price.

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 Beechwood House is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 2LP. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Beechwood House. 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 Beechwood House was lodged in February 2019 at band E and is valid until February 2029. 3 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 Beechwood House. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO40 2LP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Beechwood House is in council tax band B. 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.
