Overview

About 1b

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1b is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 2DY). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 100.4% above the 2014 sale of £244,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 62.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 184 m² it sits well below the postcode median (278 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1b is modelled from its 184 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 1b. 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 1b was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 1b. 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
1b 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.
