A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6a is a detached house in Poole (BH15 3SN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft). The latest certificate (April 2016) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average.

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 6a is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH15 3SN. 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 6a. 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 6a was lodged in April 2016 at band B and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 6a. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH15 3SN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
