About 12 Sherwood House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Sherwood House is a one-bedroom detached house in Ainsdale, Southport, Southport (PR8 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 309 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. At 29 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (29–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2012. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 12.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 145.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

- 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 12 Sherwood House. 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 12 Sherwood House was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
