How the estimate is made
The estimate for 87a is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH15 1AH. 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.

About 87a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
87a is a mid-terrace house in Poole (BH15 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 78 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 39.5% below the 2020 sale of £370,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£441/sq ft) was about 131.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 78 m² it's 27.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 7 EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2020 at £370,000.

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 87a is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH15 1AH. 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 87a. 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 87a was lodged in June 2021 at band E and is valid until June 2031. 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 87a. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH15 1AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
