About 12 Empress Close
12 Empress Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Liverpool (L31 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (168 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 is 48.2% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 57% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
