Overview

About 5 Kensington Road

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

5 Kensington Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0RT). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1115 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 11.2% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Kensington Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 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 5 Kensington Road was lodged in August 2010 at band F and expired in August 2020, 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 5 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
5 Kensington Road is in council tax band B. 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.
