How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3a is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4TA. 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 3a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3a is a three-bedroom property in Southport (PR8 4TA). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 95 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (95–314 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 95 m² it sits well below the postcode median (194 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 66% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 3a is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 4TA. 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 3a. 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 3a was lodged in March 2010 at band E and expired in March 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 3a. 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 4TA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
