About Douglas Court

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

Douglas Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Southport (PR8 3LR). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 578 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 54 m² this is the 5th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in Douglas Court, where floor areas span 50–144 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 68 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 13% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 55.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
