Overview

About 17a

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

17a is a five-bedroom detached house in Ainsdale, Southport, Southport (PR8 2PU). It has a recorded floor area of 363 m² (around 3907 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2016) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 5 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

At 363 m² it's 23.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (295 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. Across 2012–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £809,000 is 35.4% above the 2018 sale price.

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 17a is modelled from its 363 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 2PU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17a. 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 17a was lodged in March 2016 at band B and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 17a. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 2PU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17a is in council tax band G. 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.
