Ellis Court, Flat 7, 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 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards 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. Other recorded features include a balcony. At 55 m² this is the 4th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Ellis Court, where floor areas span 49–60 m². The latest certificate (July 2017) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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.
