Overview

About 16 Poverty Lane

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

16 Poverty Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L31 3EX). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 64.5% above the 2014 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. At 108 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 10 EPCs). Last changed hands 12 years ago, in November 2014.

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 16 Poverty Lane is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 3EX. 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 16 Poverty Lane. 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 16 Poverty Lane was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, 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 16 Poverty Lane. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L31 3EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 16 Poverty Lane 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.
