Overview

About 271 Smithdown Road

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

271 Smithdown Road is an end-of-terrace house in Liverpool (L15 2HF). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £206,000 is 99.5% below the 2018 sale of £39,887,285, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£21,055/sq ft) was about 15929% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2014.
