7 Ford Close, Bootle, L20 6HS

7 Ford Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bootle (L20 6HS). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since June 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 sits 440.8% above the 1996 sale of £35,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 63.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
