About 5 Bennett Road
5 Bennett Road is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8QF). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 234.6% above the 1999 sale of £89,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 62.9% below the postcode norm. At 100 m² it's 17% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
