Local market context
7 Avenue Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2020–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£546/sq ft) was about 103.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £535,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
