Overview

About Bedford Court

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Bedford Court is a two-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 4HB). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 640 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 59 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in Bedford Court, where floor areas span 45–60 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 sits 124.4% above the 2011 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 41.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Bedford Court is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4HB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Bedford Court. 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 Bedford Court was lodged in April 2010 at band D and expired in April 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Bedford Court. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 4HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Bedford Court is in council tax band A. 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.
