Overview

About 18 Wilkins Gardens

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

18 Wilkins Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).

Held since December 2008 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 46% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 34.2% below the postcode norm.
