About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7AN). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (54–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 36.2% above the 2008 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH3 7AN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 2. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Flat 2 was lodged in October 2019 at band E and is valid until October 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH3 7AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
