24a, Firbank Road, Bournemouth, BH9 1EL
About 24a
24a is a three-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 82 m² this is the 15th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–251 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 36.9% above the 2007 sale price.
