About The Beacon
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Beacon is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Branksome Park, Poole, Poole (BH13 6JS). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 89 m² this is the 3rd 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 across 6 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
Across 2018–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £431,000 is 10.2% below the 2024 sale of £480,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£501/sq ft) was about 73.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. Most recent transfer: July 2024 at £480,000.

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 The Beacon is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 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 November 2017 at band C and is valid until November 2027. 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 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 E. 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.
