About 4 Grants Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Grants Avenue is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4NR). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–127 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2004, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 98.3% above the 2004 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm.

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 Grants Avenue is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 4NR. 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 4 Grants Avenue. 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 Grants Avenue was lodged in June 2025 at band E and is valid until June 2035. 4 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 4 Grants Avenue. 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 4NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Grants Avenue 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.
