9 Beech Road, Ashurst, Southampton, SO40 7AY

9 Beech Road is a semi-detached house in Ashurst, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7AY). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in February 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 128 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 356.4% above the 1999 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 76% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
