Ellis Court, Flat 2, Merlin Road, Birkenhead, CH42 9QJ

Ellis Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 49 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Ellis Court (49–60 m²). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2017. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -17.7% per year.
