6 Purkiss Close, Woodlands, Southampton, SO40 7HS

6 Purkiss Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Woodlands, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7HS). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1999 — that's 27 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. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 sits 196.8% above the 1999 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 67.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
