Overview

About 21 South Road

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

21 South Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 7JW). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 68 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 67–158 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 11 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home.

Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £112,000 sits 489.5% above the 1996 sale of £19,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£26/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it's 16.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 10 EPCs).
