Overview

About 3 South Road

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

3 South Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1037 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

At 96 m² it's 18.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 30 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 2002–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 is 40% above the 2015 sale price.
