Overview

About 27 Cambridge Road

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

27 Cambridge Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 900 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 60.6% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (135 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
