Overview

About Waves

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

Waves is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 643 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 3rd 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 top.

Held since January 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. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 34.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 10 EPCs).
