Local market context
12a is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 3EY). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2403 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 50 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £469,000 sits 159.1% above the 1995 sale of £181,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 66.8% below the postcode norm.
12a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
