About 1 Midwood Avenue
1 Midwood Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH8 9LX). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £404,000 sits 244.8% above the 1999 sale of £117,164. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 42.1% below the postcode norm. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
