About 2 Cromer Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Cromer Road is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9BW). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (33–175 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £196,000 sits 157.9% above the 1997 sale of £76,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 20.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Cromer Road is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 9BW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Cromer Road. 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 2 Cromer Road was lodged in May 2017 at band E and is valid until May 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Cromer Road. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH8 9BW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
