About 48 Princes Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
48 Princes Street is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 1HB). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–296 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2018–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 66.5% below the 2024 sale of £430,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,051/sq ft) was about 831% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £430,000 in May 2024.

- Where sold prices come from
