About 16 Sefton Drive
16 Sefton Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Thornton, Liverpool, Liverpool (L23 4TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2340 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 is 35.2% above the 2009 sale price.
