About 3 Vicarage Road
3 Vicarage Road is a detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 2SA). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 99.5% above the 2009 sale of £182,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm.
