Ellis Court, Flat 3, Merlin Road, Birkenhead, CH42 9QJ

Ellis Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 56 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Ellis Court, where floor areas span 49–60 m². On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 76). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

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 21.5% per year.
