About 42 Porter Road
42 Porter Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Poole (BH17 7AW). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 828 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 77 m² it's 27.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 22 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 37.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 27% below the postcode norm.
