Overview

About 17 Wilkins Gardens

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

17 Wilkins Gardens is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. At 58 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–132 m². The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Wilkins Gardens is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 8DJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Wilkins Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17 Wilkins Gardens was lodged in July 2024 at band C and is valid until July 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Wilkins Gardens. 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. The 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH8 8DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Wilkins Gardens is in council tax band B. 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.
