About 74 Kensington Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
74 Kensington Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 0RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 74 Kensington Road is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 0RZ. 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 74 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 74 Kensington Road was lodged in January 2014 at band F and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 74 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR9 0RZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 74 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.
