Overview

About 12 Birchlands

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

12 Birchlands is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Totton, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7QB). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 335.4% above the 1998 sale of £59,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 57.8% below the postcode norm.
