How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 167 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 4DT. 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.

About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a four-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L31 4DT). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: March 2020 at £407,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £534,000 is 31.2% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 46.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 167 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in L31 4DT. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from L31 4DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band E. 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.
