Apartment 22, 34 Shaws Alley, Liverpool, L1 8DG

Apartment 22 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Liverpool (L1 8DG). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. At 69 m² this is the 14th 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 across 30 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 15.2% below the 2007 sale of £181,575, 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 (£244/sq ft) was about 28.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since October 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.
