About 1 The Firs
1 The Firs is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. At 63 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 The Firs (63–71 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 123.1% above the 2009 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm.
