About 81 Raffles Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
81 Raffles Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 0HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
