Flat 1, 2 Melgate Close, Bournemouth, BH9 2EE
About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bournemouth (BH9 2EE). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007-2011. At 51 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since August 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. At 51 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 11 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 is 13.4% above the 2007 sale price.
