About 161 Bedford Road
161 Bedford Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bootle (L20 2DR). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 sits 51.6% above the 2009 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 47.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
