Overview

About Driftwood

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

Driftwood is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH5 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. At 78 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Driftwood, where floor areas span 70–84 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 81). The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 is 16.3% above the 2009 sale price.
