Overview

About 20a

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

20a is a three-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 1LT). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -21.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 is 21.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
