About Rydal House
Rydal House is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wimborne (BH21 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1125 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year.
