About 18 Kensington Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Kensington Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0RT). It has a recorded floor area of 249 m² (around 2677 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 68.2% above the 2010 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 36.6% below the postcode norm.

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 18 Kensington Road is modelled from its 249 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0RT. 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 18 Kensington Road. 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 18 Kensington Road was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, 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. None is matched to 18 Kensington Road. 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 0RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Kensington Road is in council tax band C. 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.
