About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 70 m² this is the 7th smallest of 9 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 57–342 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.

It hasn't traded since March 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area.

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 3 is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 3. 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 3 was lodged in June 2024 at band C and is valid until June 2034. 5 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 3. 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
- Flat 3 is in council tax band B. 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.
