Overview

About 1 South Road

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

1 South Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 sits 78.1% above the 2008 sale of £137,000. At 70 m² it's 17.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 30 EPCs).
