16 Poverty Lane, Liverpool, L31 3EX
About 16 Poverty Lane
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 £333,000 sits 51.4% 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.
