About 8 Dibden Close
8 Dibden Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH8 0EN). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 65 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
