About 29 Birchwood Road

29 Birchwood Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Parkstone, Poole, Poole (BH14 9NW). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) returns a high B (score 90), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good.

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 29 Birchwood Road is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH14 9NW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 29 Birchwood 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 29 Birchwood Road was lodged in February 2016 at band B and expired in February 2026, 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. 4 applications are matched to 29 Birchwood 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH14 9NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29 Birchwood Road is in council tax band E. 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.
