About 1a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1a is a semi-detached house in Southport (PR9 7HD). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (April 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 76 m² this is the 7th smallest of 52 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–166 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (4 versus a best of 76).
At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 12.3% above the 2024 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 28.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2024 at £138,000.

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 1a is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 7HD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1a. 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 1a was lodged in April 2014 at band G and expired in April 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. None is matched to 1a. 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 7HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
