18 Rutland Road, Southport, PR8 6PB

18 Rutland Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 6PB). It has a recorded floor area of 205 m² (around 2207 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £538,000 is 39.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
