Overview

About The Hermitage

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

The Hermitage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Poole (BH14 0QG). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On EPC score it ranks last in the building (32 versus a best of 72).

At 104 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year.

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 Hermitage is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH14 0QG. 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 Hermitage. 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 Hermitage was lodged in August 2009 at band F and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to The Hermitage. 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 0QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
