21 Buckingham Mansions, Bath Road, Bournemouth, BH1 2PG

21 Buckingham Mansions is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 2PG). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1414 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. At 131 m² this is the 25th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 75–207 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.2% per year.
