About 3 Garden Court 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Garden Court 1a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH1 4PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since June 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 271.4% above the 1999 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 48.3% below the postcode norm. At 46 m² it's 17.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 41 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
