Overview

About 29a

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

29a is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 8SP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (45–134 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 41.5% above the 2004 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 31.7% 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 29a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 8SP. 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 29a. 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 29a was lodged in November 2013 at band E and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 29a. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH8 8SP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29a is in council tax band A. 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.
