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.

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 Orchard Plaza is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH15 1EG. 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 Orchard Plaza. 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 Orchard Plaza was lodged in November 2022 at band C and is valid until November 2032. 2 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 Orchard Plaza. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH15 1EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Orchard Plaza is in council tax band B. 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.
