Overview

About 5 Forton Lodge Flats

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

5 Forton Lodge Flats is a two-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L23 8SA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £200,000 sits 66.7% above the 2014 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. At 115 m² it's 29.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 13 EPCs). Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Forton Lodge Flats is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L23 8SA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Forton Lodge Flats. 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 5 Forton Lodge Flats was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Forton Lodge Flats. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L23 8SA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Forton Lodge Flats 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.
