About 4 Bennett Road

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

4 Bennett Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8QF). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 70).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good.

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 52% above the 2014 sale of £221,005. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 36% below the postcode norm.
