Overview

About 15 Orcheston Road

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

15 Orcheston Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2009.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 53.9% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm.
