Overview

About 7 Acuba Grove

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

7 Acuba Grove is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 5LY). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Held since April 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.
