At 40 m² this is the 4th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–197 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Frances Road is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 3RZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Frances Road. 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 4 Frances Road was lodged in March 2011 at band C and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Frances Road. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH1 3RZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
