Overview

About 8 Grantham Road

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

8 Grantham Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4NW). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; 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 B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 23% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.
