Overview

About 1 Orchard Hey

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

1 Orchard Hey is a two-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L31 3EU). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 33% above the 2015 sale price.

Method

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 1 Orchard Hey is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 3EU. 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 1 Orchard Hey. 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 1 Orchard Hey was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Orchard Hey. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L31 3EU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Orchard Hey 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.
