About 406b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
406b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 386 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–183 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 30 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 36 m² it's 26.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 29 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 10 years ago, in July 2016. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 is 25.6% above the 2016 sale price.
