About 5 Abingdon Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Abingdon Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5JY). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1620 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 sits 54.8% above the 2009 sale of £480,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 49.9% below the postcode norm.
