Get started40a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Christchurch (BH23 1EB). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
Held since July 1997 — that's 29 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 £142,000 sits 273.7% above the 1997 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 64.2% below the postcode norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
