Local market context
16a is a mid-terrace house in Christchurch (BH23 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. At 59 m² this is the 7th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £263,000 sits 94.8% above the 1999 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 48.2% below the postcode norm. At 59 m² it's 16.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 8 EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
