33 Caithness Drive, Wallasey, CH45 7PN

33 Caithness Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wallasey (CH45 7PN). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 75 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (75–195 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 12.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 41.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 29.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 10 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
