The Reef, Flat 10, 16 Boscombe Spa Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, BH5 1AY

The Reef's sale-price growth has lagged the wider UK trajectory across its history on file.

The Reef's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.

How the estimate is made

The estimate for The Reef is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1AY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Reef. 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 The Reef was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 The Reef. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 1AY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.

Council tax band

The Reef 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.
