How the estimate is made
The estimate for 138 Seabourne Road is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 2HZ.

About 138 Seabourne Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
138 Seabourne Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH5 2HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 336 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–123 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 27% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 317.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £115,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 138 Seabourne Road is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH5 2HZ. 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 138 Seabourne Road. 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 138 Seabourne Road was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 138 Seabourne Road. 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 2HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 138 Seabourne Road 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.
