Overview

About Ellis Court

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

Ellis Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 60 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Ellis Court (49–60 m²). The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 11% below the 2007 sale of £145,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. 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.
