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 £159,000 is 27.2% above the 2016 sale price.
