Get started3 Francis Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Holbury, Southampton, Southampton (SO45 2LU). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Sale prices here have outpaced Southampton HPI: 8.3% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 55.3% above the 2009 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).
