48a is a detached house in Churchtown, Southport, Southport (PR9 7QS). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
Held since July 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 1111.4% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£17/sq ft) was about 91.8% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
48a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
