About 11a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11a is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.

Across 2014–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 44.2% below the 2023 sale of £260,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 11a is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 2AR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 11a. 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 11a was lodged in April 2018 at band E and is valid until April 2028. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 11a. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 2AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
