About 5 Balfour Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Balfour Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Christchurch (BH23 4PN). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £628,000 sits 79.4% above the 2015 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 18.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
