About Fairlawn
Fairlawn is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 51), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £752,000 is 15.7% above the 2008 sale price.
