About 140 Alma Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
140 Alma Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 63 m² this is the 15th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 8–199 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (75 versus a worst of 3). The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 78.4% above the 2007 sale of £117,694.

- 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 140 Alma Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
