How to read this comparison

Headline details are agent or publisher claims unless a source-backed fact is explicitly marked verified. Aveno interpretations and calculations are labelled separately. Unknown means evidence is missing, not that a property fails a check.

Recorded transaction (separate)The Bridge House£1,200,000 · 11 Aug 2009

Bridge House, Salterns Lane

The current Peter Huf-designed house was completed in 2021. Use the 2009 transfer only after title, transferred-extent and build-chronology reconciliation; it is not a like-for-like sale.

Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Important missing informationThe Bridge House
  • Official title/UPRN, transferred extent and legal water/slipway/access rights
  • RICS reconciliation of 3,540 sq ft measured syndication area against the approximately 4,000 sq ft marketing claim
  • Complete bridge/lake structural and waterproofing record, planning/completion/warranty pack and property-level flood/drainage evidence
Missing evidence is not a negative finding.

The reality of ownership

Features can bring both enjoyment and ongoing attention. These observations identify what to investigate, not estimated bills or confirmed defects.

The Bridge House

Gardens and grounds

Publisher evidenceThe listing attributes a one-acre lake, two islands, a Japanese garden, private River Hamble slipway, 17 kW solar array, air-source heat pump, triple glazing, annexe/gym and double carport.

Practical questionWho maintains the gardens and grounds, what is included in the sale, and can you provide the maintenance schedule?

Energy and systems

Publisher evidenceThe current syndication gives a measured 3,540 sq ft, six bathrooms, Band G, EPC A and an exact Salterns Lane postcode; this lower measured figure is used for price density pending RICS reconciliation.

Practical questionCan you provide the current EPC, commissioning certificates, warranties and recent measured energy use?

Works and completion

Publisher evidenceA working exact-property Vimeo film published by Luxury Cottages matches the name, architecture, 2021 completion, woodland and lakeside setting.

Practical questionCan you provide completion certificates, outstanding works, transferable warranties and the snagging record?

Ask before you view

  1. Who maintains the gardens and grounds, what is included in the sale, and can you provide the maintenance schedule?
  2. Who installed the glazing, what access is needed for cleaning and repairs, and are warranties transferable?
  3. Which accommodation is approved for its advertised use, and are access, services and heating independent?
  4. What evidence can you provide before a viewing to resolve: Official title/UPRN, transferred extent and legal water/slipway/access rights?
  5. For The Bridge House's advertised 5 bedrooms, which share a level with a bathroom and living space, and what steps are on the route from parking?

Occasional occupation: ask who checks this property while empty and what its services and insurance require.
