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 6th smallest of 7 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.

Across 2000–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 sits 140% 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
