Overview

About 1 Portchester Road

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

1 Portchester Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8JT). It has a recorded floor area of 16 m² (around 172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 16 m² it sits well below the postcode median (55 m² across 52 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 25.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,321/sq ft) was about 468.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Portchester Road is modelled from its 16 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 8JT. 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 1 Portchester Road. 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 1 Portchester Road was lodged in November 2020 at band E and is valid until November 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1 Portchester Road. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH8 8JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Portchester Road is in council tax band C. 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.
