About Seaview Farm
Seaview Farm is a detached house in Banks, Southport, Southport (PR9 8HD). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 70.4% above the 2008 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 43.9% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
