About 523 Ashley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
523 Ashley Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH14 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 sits 55.7% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 25.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, 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 523 Ashley Road is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH14 0BD. 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 523 Ashley Road. 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 523 Ashley Road was lodged in December 2014 at band F and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 523 Ashley Road. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH14 0BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 523 Ashley Road is in council tax band C. 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.
