About 8 Brabazon Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Brabazon Drive is a semi-detached house in Christchurch (BH23 4TL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 403% above the 1995 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 68% below the postcode norm. At 74 m² it's 17.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 22 EPCs).
