38 Kirkstone Road West is a semi-detached house in Liverpool (L21 0EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 26 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 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 sits 204.8% above the 2000 sale of £65,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 77.6% below the postcode norm.
