Overview

About 17 Elphinstone Road

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

17 Elphinstone Road is a semi-detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5LL). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 is 15.2% below the 2021 sale of £560,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£515/sq ft) was about 109.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 101 m² it sits well below the postcode median (177 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold December 2021 for £560,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
