26b, Brighton Road, Southport, PR8 4DD
About 26b
26b is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 4DD). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 174 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 £435,000 sits 51.3% above the 2016 sale of £287,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 39% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
