About 15 Bracken Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Bracken Way is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Walkford, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5LW). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1555 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £498,000 is 46.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 19.6% below the postcode norm.
