The Reef, Flat 2, 16 Boscombe Spa Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, BH5 1AY

The Reef is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (BH5 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. At 79 m² this is the 4th smallest of 46 units on EPC record in The Reef, where floor areas span 74–204 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 79 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 45 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 is 27.9% above the 2007 sale price.
