Overview

About 1 The Firs

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 The Firs is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. At 71 m² this is the largest 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 bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 13 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 is 29.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 87.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 The Firs is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 1QJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 The Firs. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 The Firs was lodged in October 2019 at band E and is valid until October 2029. 13 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 The Firs. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH1 1QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 The Firs is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
