How the estimate is made
The estimate for Oakview Cottage is modelled from its 163 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L26 5QB. 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.

About Oakview Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Oakview Cottage is a detached house in Halewood, Liverpool, Liverpool (L26 5QB). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1751 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 117.3% above the 2009 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 42.5% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 163 m² it's 22.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Oakview Cottage is modelled from its 163 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L26 5QB. 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 Oakview Cottage. 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 Oakview Cottage was lodged in February 2009 at band F 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. 4 applications are matched to Oakview Cottage. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L26 5QB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Oakview Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
