Overview

About Forest Edge

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

Forest Edge is a detached house in Neacroft, Christchurch, Christchurch (BH23 8JS). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 71). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £657,000 sits 108.6% above the 2007 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 20.3% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 76% of similar EPCs).
