About 8 Alma Road
8 Alma Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 4AN). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since May 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. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 109.5% above the 2007 sale of £148,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 29.9% 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.
