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 £292,000 is 27% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 38.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 8 Grantham Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 4NW. 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 8 Grantham 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 8 Grantham Road was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, 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 8 Grantham 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH1 4NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Grantham Road is in council tax band C. 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.
