About 4 Laurel Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Laurel Road is a mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 0JA). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 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. At 177 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £99,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm.
