About 5 Blundell Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Blundell Avenue is a detached house in Southport (PR8 4TA). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 210 m² it's 26.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 is 45.2% above the 2016 sale price.

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 5 Blundell Avenue is modelled from its 210 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Blundell Avenue. 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 5 Blundell Avenue was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 5 Blundell Avenue. 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.
- Council tax band
- 5 Blundell Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
