Local market context
15 Avon Road West is a two-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 2DF). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 47 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (47–129 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 31 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 is 41.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£287/sq ft) was about 43% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
