About 38a
38a is a 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.
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). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
