Overview

About 18 Amberwood Close

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

18 Amberwood Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Calmore, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1017 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 85% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 25.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 95 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

Method

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 18 Amberwood Close is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 2ST. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 18 Amberwood Close. 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 18 Amberwood Close was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Amberwood Close. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO40 2ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Amberwood Close 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.
