About 55a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55a is a one-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. Tenure is freehold. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–147 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 40 units on file. Other recorded features include a basement and a loft. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£384/sq ft) was about 120% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2022 for £182,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 55a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BH9 1JQ. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 55a. 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 55a was lodged in July 2020 at band D and is valid until July 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 55a. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BH9 1JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
