1 Brook Park, Liverpool, L31 7EB

1 Brook Park is a five-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L31 7EB). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £459,000 is 14.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 236.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
