About 28a
28a is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 2AS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 74 m² this is the 20th smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–148 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 42 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 32.8% above the 2007 sale price.
