14a, Village Way, Wallasey, CH45 3NZ

14a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wallasey (CH45 3NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 6th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since June 2008, 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. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 20.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
