How the estimate is made

About 40b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40b is a three-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH14 9LR). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 111 m² this is the 11th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 59–211 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 19 units on file. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 53% above the 2010 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm.

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 40b is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH14 9LR. 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 40b. 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 40b was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 40b. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH14 9LR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 40b 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.
