Ellis Court, Flat 8, Merlin Road, Birkenhead, CH42 9QJ

Ellis Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birkenhead (CH42 9QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Ellis Court, where floor areas span 49–60 m². On EPC score it ranks last in the building (76 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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.
