Overview

About Waves

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

Waves is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. At 103 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Waves (48–103 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (May 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 is 15.6% above the 2009 sale price.
