About 120 Bispham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
120 Bispham Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 7BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in May 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2001. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 89 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 20 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 33.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 33.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 120 Bispham Road is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 7BJ. 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 120 Bispham 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 120 Bispham Road was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 120 Bispham 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 7BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 120 Bispham 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.
