How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Brighton Road is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4DD. 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 1 Brighton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £274,000 sits 75.1% above the 2011 sale of £156,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 15.6% 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.

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 1 Brighton Road is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4DD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Brighton Road. 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 1 Brighton Road was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Brighton Road. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 4DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Brighton Road is in council tax band B. 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.
