About 197 King Avenue
197 King Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bootle (L20 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 20.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 105.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
