Region

Southampton has a mix of Victorian terraces in areas like Shirley, post-war semis in Bitterne, and modern flats around the city centre and Ocean Village. Most residential streets have some form of off-street parking.

Many Southampton properties have front driveways or rear access. City-centre flats may require longer cable runs or communal area routing, which can increase costs.

Southampton has a large student and rental population. Renters with landlord consent and flat owners in purpose-built blocks are well-positioned to claim the OZEV grant.
