How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1JL. 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.

About 16a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16a is a four-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1JL). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 130 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2012–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 is 35.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 26.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £320,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 1JL. 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 16a. 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 16a was lodged in June 2012 at band F and expired in June 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 16a. 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 1JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16a is in council tax band D. 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.
