About 29a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29a is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the 9th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–160 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in April 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

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 29a is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 5AB. 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 29a. 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 29a was lodged in March 2023 at band C and is valid until March 2033. 3 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 29a. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR8 5AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 29a is in council tax band A. 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.
