About 38 Forest Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Forest Road is a six-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH13 6DH). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1331 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 124 m² this is the 6th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 83–316 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 124 m² it sits well below the postcode median (180 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 is 27.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 38 Forest Road is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH13 6DH. 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 38 Forest Road. 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 38 Forest Road was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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. 3 applications are matched to 38 Forest Road. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH13 6DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Forest Road is in council tax band C. 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.
