Overview

About 1 Woodchurch Lane

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

1 Woodchurch Lane is a one-bedroom detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 9PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1026 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 is 42.9% above the 2009 sale price.
