About 1 Bickerton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bickerton Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 2DY). It has a recorded floor area of 332 m² (around 3574 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
Today's modelled estimate of £649,000 sits 51.1% above the 2014 sale of £429,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 58.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition, tree works and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 332 m² it's 22.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (271 m² median across 15 EPCs). Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 1 Bickerton Road is modelled from its 332 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 2DY. 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 1 Bickerton Road. 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 1 Bickerton Road was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 1 Bickerton Road. 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 2DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bickerton Road is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
