Overview

About 29 Imber Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

29 Imber Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 193 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £640,000 sits 64.1% above the 2013 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm. On the market in December 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
