Overview

About Riversdale

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

Riversdale is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wimborne (BH21 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 67 m² this is the 4th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in Riversdale, where floor areas span 64–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since September 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £217,000 sits 171.3% above the 2000 sale of £80,000.
