Overview

About Driftwood

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

Driftwood is a two-bedroom property in Bournemouth (BH5 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2025) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. At 71 m² this is the 3rd 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 top. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 is 35.7% above the 2009 sale price.
