Overview

About 11 Alpha Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

11 Alpha Drive is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 1PH). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). On the market in June 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2000.

Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 32.5% above the 2013 sale price.
