How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0JA. 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 Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0JA). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–68 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 36.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 46.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0JA. 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 Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in August 2025 at band D and is valid until August 2035. 4 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 Flat 3. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR9 0JA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 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.
