How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Elm Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 5DP. 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 26 Elm Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26 Elm Road is an end-of-terrace house in Southport (PR8 5DP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in December 2001. Across 1998–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 sits 174.8% above the 2001 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 40.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).

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 26 Elm Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR8 5DP. 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 26 Elm Road. 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 26 Elm Road was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 26 Elm Road. 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 5DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26 Elm Road is in council tax band B. 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.
