Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH8 8JT). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. At 75 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (42–75 m²). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1996–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 15.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 24.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
