About 18 Harrison Drive
18 Harrison Drive is a semi-detached house in Rainford, St. Helens, St Helens (WA11 8HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 34.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 32.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2004.
