About Lower Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Lower Flat is a three-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 8 m² (around 86 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59).
Today's modelled estimate of £23,000 is 89.5% below the 2021 sale of £218,500, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,537/sq ft) was about 1265.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 8 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £218,500 in July 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Lower Flat is modelled from its 8 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH9 1AJ. 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 Lower Flat. 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 Lower Flat was lodged in November 2020 at band E and is valid until November 2030. 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 Lower Flat. 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 BH9 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
