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 property in Poole (BH13 6BF). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1118 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. At 104 m² this is the 4th 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, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

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 St James Court is modelled from its 104 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 May 2011 at band D and expired in May 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- 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.
