How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Central Avenue is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 3EG. 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.

About 8 Central Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Central Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 3EG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 15 years since the last transfer (September 2011). Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 is 38.5% above the 2011 sale price.

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 8 Central Avenue is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 3EG. 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 8 Central Avenue. 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 8 Central Avenue was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 8 Central Avenue. 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 3EG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Central Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
