About Vine Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Vine Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 0DN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (138 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 is 42.2% above the 2015 sale price.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Vine Cottage is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 0DN. 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 Vine Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Vine Cottage. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- Vine Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
