About 1 South Road

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

1 South Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 7JN). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1750 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56).
