About 1 Carr Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Carr Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 3EE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 5th smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–146 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 20 units on file.
Held since November 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 34.1% above the 2002 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 43.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Carr Lane is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 3EE. 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 Carr Lane. 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 Carr Lane was lodged in August 2014 at band D and expired in August 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Carr Lane. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 3EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Carr Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
