18a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 7LB). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1373 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
