About Flat 3

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

At 31 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 24–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 7 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1DX. 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 3. 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 3 was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, 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 Flat 3. 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 1DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: Flat 3 is in council tax band A. 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.
