Overview

About 47 Highfield Grove

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

47 Highfield Grove is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 2DG). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
