About 17 Portland Gate
17 Portland Gate is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wirral (CH62 4SG). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 11th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
