About Flat 4
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 4 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Poole (BH13 6JF). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 65 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (65–143 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £262,000 sits 315.9% above the 1996 sale of £63,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 55.9% below the postcode norm. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Flat 4 is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH13 6JF. 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 Flat 4. 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 Flat 4 was lodged in August 2012 at band C and expired in August 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to Flat 4. 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 6JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 4 is in council tax band D. 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.
