Overview

About 5 Earls Close

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

5 Earls Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Liverpool (L23 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 64.6% above the 2015 sale of £164,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
