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 £286,000 is 26% above the 2009 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Driftwood is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1AN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Driftwood. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Driftwood was lodged in June 2025 at band B and is valid until June 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Driftwood. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 1AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Driftwood is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
