Overview

About 10 Chestnut Drive

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

10 Chestnut Drive is a detached house in Ashurst, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7DW). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works, an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £544,000 sits 179% above the 2001 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 54.1% below the postcode norm.

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 10 Chestnut Drive is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 7DW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 10 Chestnut Drive. 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 10 Chestnut Drive was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 10 Chestnut Drive. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO40 7DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Chestnut Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
