Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 73 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year.

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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 4ER. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in July 2014 at band F and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 Flat 4. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH1 4ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 4 is in council tax band B. 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.
