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.
