Overview

About The Beacon

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

The Beacon is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Branksome Park, Poole, Poole (BH13 6JS). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 96 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in The Beacon, where floor areas span 30–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).

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. Sold November 2022 for £435,000.

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 The Beacon is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH13 6JS. 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. 7 sales are recorded for The Beacon. 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 The Beacon was lodged in March 2022 at band D and is valid until March 2032. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to The Beacon. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH13 6JS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Beacon is in council tax band A. 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.
