About 1 Cecil Hill
1 Cecil Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9EN). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 47), 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, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 is 11.9% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £520,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
