Overview

About 1b

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

1b is a mid-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH1 3SH). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 32 m² this is the 4th smallest of 56 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–319 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 56 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 59.6% below the 2023 sale of £280,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£813/sq ft) was about 500.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 55 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £280,000 in March 2023.

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 1b is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 3SH. 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 1b. 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 1b was lodged in January 2021 at band E and is valid until January 2031. 2 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 1b. 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 3SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1b is in council tax band A. 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.
