About 23 Avenue Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Avenue Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 72.8% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. At 83 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 15 EPCs).
