Overview

About 4 Karan Way

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

4 Karan Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Melling, Liverpool, Liverpool (L31 1BS). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1471 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 sits 72% above the 2012 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£102/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021.

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 4 Karan Way is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 1BS. 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 4 Karan Way. 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 4 Karan Way was lodged in August 2011 at band E and expired in August 2021, 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. 1 application is matched to 4 Karan Way. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L31 1BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Karan Way 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.
