About 21 Dowhills Road
21 Dowhills Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L23 8SH). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–304 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (74 versus a worst of 61). Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (215 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £903,000 is 29% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,548/sq ft) was about 695.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
