About 12 Bank Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Bank Square is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 23rd smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–298 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 39 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 24% below the 2021 sale of £183,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 131.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £183,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.

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 12 Bank Square is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0DG. 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 12 Bank Square. 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 12 Bank Square was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 12 Bank Square. 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 0DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
