Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH5 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–48 m²). On EPC score it ranks last in the building (55 versus a best of 61). The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (59 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 is 30.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£298/sq ft) was about 97.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in March 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 2HH. 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 1. 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 1 was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, 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 1. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 2HH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat 1 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.
