Overview

About 4 Barford Close

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

4 Barford Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 2RS). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 205.3% above the 2000 sale of £115,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 63% below the postcode norm.
