About Flat A
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat A is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH1 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average.
Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 11.5% below the 2021 sale of £165,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 94.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold June 2021 for £165,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Flat A is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 4PB. 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 Flat A. 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 Flat A was lodged in August 2025 at band C and is valid until August 2035. 3 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 Flat A. 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 4PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat A is in council tax band B. 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.
