Overview

About 23 Benbow Gardens

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

23 Benbow Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Calmore, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2SX). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 sits 57.8% above the 2014 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 27.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
