About 4 Ludlow Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Ludlow Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in West Kirby, Wirral, Wirral (CH48 3JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 109 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £464,000 sits 404.3% above the 1995 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 61% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
