26 Rainford Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bootle (L20 0AS).

The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 39% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 53.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
