About 8a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8a is a semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 165% above the 2020 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 49.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 8a is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH9 1BB. 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 8a. 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 8a was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8a. 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 1BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
