About 128 Dorchester Road
128 Dorchester Road is a detached house in Oakdale, Poole, Poole (BH15 3SD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 457.1% above the 1996 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 79.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
