Overview

About 181 Alma Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

181 Alma Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 649 sq ft) and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 60 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 22–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 62.4% above the 2008 sale of £101,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).
