Local market context
12b is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9DH). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 6 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 11th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–209 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 30 units on file. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
