3 New Merrifield, Wimborne, BH21 7AL

3 New Merrifield is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wimborne (BH21 7AL). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 sits 79.6% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 49.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
