Overview

About Waves

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

Waves is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 76 m² this is the 7th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Waves, where floor areas span 48–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (76 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 35.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
