1 Brighton Road, Southport, PR8 4DD

1 Brighton Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 4DD). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since March 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 59.7% above the 2011 sale of £156,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 23.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
