Overview

About 31 Crofton Road

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

31 Crofton Road is an end-of-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 5NS). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 49.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 62.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
