Flat 2, 2 Melgate Close, Bournemouth, BH9 2EE
About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 2EE). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. At 50 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (50–52 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (74 versus a best of 83). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 11 EPCs).
