Overview

About Orchard Plaza

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

Orchard Plaza is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Poole (BH15 1EG). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 65 m² this is the 64th smallest of 73 units on EPC record in Orchard Plaza, where floor areas span 39–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 65 m² it's 20.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 72 EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.
