Overview

About 42 Derwent Drive

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

42 Derwent Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Heswall, Wirral, Wirral (CH61 5XU). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 69.9% above the 2015 sale of £173,000. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
