How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 202 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 3SR. 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 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 3SR). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2169 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 97.8% above the 2004 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 47.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1a is modelled from its 202 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 3SR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in December 2008 at band E and expired in December 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1a. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 3SR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1a is in council tax band D. 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.
