About 2 Boakes Place

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

2 Boakes Place is a two-bedroom detached house in Ashurst, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7FF). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 761 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 71 m² this is the 8th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 2 Boakes Place is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 7FF. 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 2 Boakes Place. 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 2 Boakes Place was lodged in May 2011 at band D and expired in May 2021, 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. None is matched to 2 Boakes Place. 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 7FF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Boakes Place is in council tax band C. 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.
