Overview

About 8 Harrowby Road South

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

8 Harrowby Road South is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 7HY). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.9% per year.
