About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £558,000 is 21.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 29% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2021 at £460,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.
