Overview

About 18 Merlin Road

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

18 Merlin Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QG). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
