About 12 The Close
12 The Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Haydock, St. Helens, St Helens (WA11 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 76% above the 2009 sale of £100,000. At 85 m² it's 24.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 4 EPCs).
