Waves, Flat 4, 1 Owls Road, Bournemouth, BH5 1AA
About Waves
Waves is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 74 m² this is the 6th 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. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since May 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£313/sq ft) was about 38.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
