15 Riding Street, Southport, PR8 1EW

15 Riding Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 1EW). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 73 m² this is the 14th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–195 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (77 versus a worst of 29). The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in June 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 sits 244% above the 2000 sale of £37,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 55.6% below the postcode norm. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
