Overview

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 £521,000 is 28% 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.
