About 471a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
471a is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 46.2% below the 2018 sale of £290,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in January 2018.

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 471a is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0AQ. 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 471a. 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 471a was lodged in June 2020 at band D and is valid until June 2030. 2 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 471a. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR9 0AQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 471a 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.
