Overview

About 5 Square House Lane

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

5 Square House Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Banks, Southport, Southport (PR9 8EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 is 31.1% above the 2015 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
