Overview

About 8a

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

8a is a one-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH3 7JX). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 34.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 64.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 31 EPCs).

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 75 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH3 7JX. 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. 4 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 February 2020 at band D and is valid until February 2030. 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 7JX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
