Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2009); the latest reading is 3 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
