About Apartment 15
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 15 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L1 8DG). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2017) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 50 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–160 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 23.7% below the 2007 sale of £136,250, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 32.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Apartment 15 is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L1 8DG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Apartment 15. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 15 was lodged in August 2017 at band B and is valid until August 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 15. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L1 8DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Apartment 15 is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
