Overview

About 8a

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

8a is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–174 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2017 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 sits 55% above the 2009 sale of £100,000. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8a is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH3 7JT. 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 8a. 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 8a was lodged in July 2023 at band C and is valid until July 2033. 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 8a. 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 7JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8a is in council tax band A. 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.
