Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (BH5 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 33 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–35 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 8 units on file.

It hasn't traded since April 1998, a hold of 28 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 £114,000 sits 484.6% above the 1998 sale of £19,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 64.3% below the postcode norm. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (48 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1DJ. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in March 2019 at band D and is valid until March 2029. 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 Flat 1. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 1DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
