Overview

About Marina Towers

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

Marina Towers is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. At 72 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Marina Towers (72–157 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (December 2022) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since April 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 166.7% above the 1997 sale of £94,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 55.6% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs).

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 Marina Towers is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1BJ. 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 Marina Towers. 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 Marina Towers was lodged in December 2022 at band B and is valid until December 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Marina Towers. 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 1BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Marina Towers 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.
