Overview

About 5 Elphinstone Road

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

5 Elphinstone Road is a detached house in Highcliffe, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5LL). It has a recorded floor area of 183 m² (around 1970 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £650,000 sits 165.3% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm.
