About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a one-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 3DF). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–126 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 29 units on file. Other recorded features include a loft. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
