1 Botley Road, Romsey, SO51 5AG
About 1 Botley Road
1 Botley Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Romsey (SO51 5AG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 72.4% above the 2007 sale of £217,000.
