43b, Oak Road, New Milton, BH25 5BE

43b is a three-bedroom detached house in New Milton (BH25 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 74.3% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 23.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2007.
