About Flat 3

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

Flat 3 is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 58–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold October 2020 for £153,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 30.1% above the 2020 sale price.
