Overview

About 17 Avenue Road

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

17 Avenue Road is a detached house in Walkford, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 5QH). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 895 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 66.9% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2012.
