About 20 Downham Road North

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

20 Downham Road North is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Wirral (CH61 6UR). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 152.6% above the 2002 sale of £154,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 40.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 131 m² it's 18% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 13 EPCs).
