About 5 Compton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Compton Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 4EE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £181,000 sits 67.6% above the 2012 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 16% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 5 Compton Road is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4EE. 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 5 Compton 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 5 Compton 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. None is matched to 5 Compton 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 4EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Compton 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.
