About Waves

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

Waves is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2019) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 55 m² this is the 2nd 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 September 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 280% above the 1998 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 67.5% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it's 26.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 10 EPCs).
