Overview

About Myrtle Cottage

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

Myrtle Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Copythorne, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (143 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2015. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 is 40.2% above the 2015 sale price.
