Overview

About St James Court

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

St James Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Poole (BH13 6BF). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 119 m² this is the 15th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in St James Court, where floor areas span 100–129 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 20 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 is 22.9% above the 2009 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for St James Court is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH13 6BF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for St James Court. 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 St James Court was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 2 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 St James Court. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH13 6BF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
St James Court is in council tax band F. 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.
