Overview

About The Point

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

The Point is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (BH5 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. At 95 m² this is the 28th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in The Point, where floor areas span 69–144 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 33 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 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. At 95 m² it's 19.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 32 EPCs). Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 is 26.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 18% below the postcode norm.
