About Apartment 8
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 8 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southport (PR8 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. At 79 m² this is the 10th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–100 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 10.5% below the 2009 sale of £153,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 26.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 79 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 16 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Apartment 8 is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 1HJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Apartment 8. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 8 was lodged in January 2023 at band C and is valid until January 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 8. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 1HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
