Overview

About 13 Howells Close

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

13 Howells Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Liverpool (L31 0AP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 61.5% above the 2013 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
