Local market context
16a is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 3EY). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £360,000 is 40% below the 2022 sale of £600,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£521/sq ft) was about 132.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 107 m² it's 21.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 50 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Sold December 2022 for £600,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
16a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
