Lower Flat, 150 Alma Road, Bournemouth, BH9 1AJ
About Lower Flat
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 74% 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.
