Overview

About 20 Devon Gardens

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

20 Devon Gardens is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 4RF). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–108 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band.

Held since March 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. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £96,000 is 43.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 169.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
