Local market context
Frobisher Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Marchwood, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 55 m² this is the 4th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Frobisher Court, where floor areas span 44–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
