About 3 Auster Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Auster Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 4JR). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 59.6% above the 2009 sale of £260,000.
