About 18 Laurelhurst Avenue
18 Laurelhurst Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Wirral (CH61 9NY). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 54.2% above the 2009 sale of £216,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
