About 43 Caithness Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
43 Caithness Drive is a semi-detached house in Liverpool (L23 0RG). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 88.1% above the 2012 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 25.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 43 Caithness Drive is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L23 0RG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 43 Caithness Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 43 Caithness Drive was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 43 Caithness Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L23 0RG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 43 Caithness Drive is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
