About 18 Dunbar Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Dunbar Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 357 m² (around 3843 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 357 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. Across 1997–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,195,000 sits 91.2% above the 2002 sale of £625,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2024. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 18 Dunbar Road is modelled from its 357 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH3 7BA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 18 Dunbar Road. 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 18 Dunbar Road was lodged in March 2010 at band E and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Dunbar Road. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH3 7BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Dunbar Road is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
