Overview

About 79a

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

79a is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 733 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 66.3% above the 2009 sale of £127,500.
