Overview

About Palm Lodge

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

Palm Lodge is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 54 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Palm Lodge, where floor areas span 24–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 8 units on file.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it's 28.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (42 m² median across 23 EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 26.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 15.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Palm Lodge is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1HP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Palm Lodge. 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 Palm Lodge 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 Palm Lodge. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 1HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Palm Lodge is in council tax band B. 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.
