About 4 Lawrence Drive
4 Lawrence Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH13 7EN). It has a recorded floor area of 398 m² (around 4284 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £3,742,000 is 28.7% below the 2021 sale of £5,250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,225/sq ft) was about 254% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 21 planning records sit against the property, 14 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include tree works, an annexe and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 398 m² it's 17.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (339 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Sold December 2021 for £5,250,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
