About 31 Crofton Road
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.
