Overview

About Top Floor Flat

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

Top Floor Flat is a two-bedroom property in Wimborne (BH21 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 619 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 43.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 18.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
