The estimate for 70b is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4QD. 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.

About 70b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
70b is a mid-terrace house in Southport (PR8 4QD). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 57 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 13 units on file. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2013. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 75.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 70b is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4QD. 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 70b. 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 70b was lodged in January 2013 at band D and expired in January 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 70b. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 4QD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
