Overview

About 9 Merlin Road

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

9 Merlin Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QG). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
