Overview

About 1b

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

1b is a four-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH14 0PD). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2016) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs). Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £744,000 is 35.3% above the 2016 sale price.
