About 4 Garden Court 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Garden Court 1a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH1 4PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency 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.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in January 1998. 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 £199,000 sits 342.2% above the 1998 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 57.5% below the postcode norm.

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 4 Garden Court 1a is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH1 4PJ. 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 4 Garden Court 1a. 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 4 Garden Court 1a was lodged in September 2021 at band E and is valid until September 2031. 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 4 Garden Court 1a. 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 4PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Garden Court 1a 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.
