Overview

About 1 Willowbank Road

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

1 Willowbank Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1515 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2008 — that's 17 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 £278,000 is 35.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 39.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
