Flat 1, 9 Chestnut Avenue, Bournemouth, BH6 3SP

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH6 3SP). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 109 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (33–109 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 62). The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1998, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 sits 194.6% above the 1998 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 42.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2026.
