About Calvin Court
Calvin Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 1LN). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 129.5% above the 2009 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 52 EPCs).
