Overview

About 4 Gravel Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Gravel Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Banks, Southport, Southport (PR9 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 72 m² it's 15.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 26 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 is 17.6% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£161/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Gravel Lane is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR9 8BN. 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 4 Gravel Lane. 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 4 Gravel Lane was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, 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 4 Gravel Lane. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR9 8BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Gravel Lane 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.
