About 198 Castle Lane West
198 Castle Lane West is a three-bedroom detached house in Bournemouth (BH9 3LA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
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. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 sits 120.6% above the 2007 sale of £151,878. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. At 80 m² it's 21.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 13 EPCs).
