About 17 Elmes Road
17 Elmes Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 2SX). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 is 49.6% above the 2008 sale price.
