Overview

About Mulberry Cottage

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

Mulberry Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Copythorne, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 120 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 26 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 Mulberry Cottage is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 2NZ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for Mulberry Cottage. 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 Mulberry Cottage was lodged in October 2015 at band C and expired in October 2025, 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. 5 applications are matched to Mulberry Cottage. 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 2NZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Mulberry Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
