Overview

About Oak Tree Cottage

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

Oak Tree Cottage is a detached house in Holdenhurst Village, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (BH8 0EE). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 178.9% above the 1998 sale of £182,500. At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
