Overview

About 1 Kensington Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Kensington Road is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0RT). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 68 m² this is the 5th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–249 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 35 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 62.7% above the 2004 sale of £83,000. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
