Overview

About The Point

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

The Point is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (BH5 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 143 m² this is the 32nd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in The Point, where floor areas span 70–144 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (64 versus a best of 84). The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£549/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in May 2017.

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 The Point is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1BS. 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 Point. 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 Point was lodged in October 2016 at band D and expired in October 2026, 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 Point. 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 1BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Point is in council tax band G. 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.
