Overview

About 23b

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

23b is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 4HY). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2018); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 26.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 48.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 54 m² it's 28.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 15 EPCs).
