About 140a
140a is a mid-terrace house in Poole (BH15 1DN). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 119 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 84). The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 48.2% below the 2021 sale of £550,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 7 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. Sold May 2021 for £550,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
