Overview

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.

Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in September 2004. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 32.7% above the 2004 sale price.
