Overview

About 1 South Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 South Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Irby, Wirral, Wirral (CH61 2XL). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in November 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 293.5% above the 1999 sale of £93,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
