About 209a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). At 69 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–141 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file.

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 209a is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 2HL. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 209a. 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 209a was lodged in June 2021 at band D and is valid until June 2031. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 209a. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH5 2HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 209a is in council tax band B. 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.
