Overview

About 256 Bedford Road

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

256 Bedford Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bootle (L20 9NE). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 53% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 45.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 25.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
