36b, Kensington Road, Southport, PR9 0RT

36b is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0RT). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 42 m² this is the 2nd 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 home occupies a corner plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 69.2% above the 2022 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 43.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (117 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold November 2022 for £65,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
