Overview

About 25 Willowbank Road

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

25 Willowbank Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in May 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 228.8% above the 1999 sale of £59,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 46.2% below the postcode norm. At 97 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
