Overview

About 5 Catkin Road

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

5 Catkin Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L26 7XJ). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 119 m² it's 17.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 is 15.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 34% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: January 2021 at £310,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
