3 Bar Street, Burnley, BB10 3BA

3 Bar Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Burnley (BB10 3BA). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 118% above the 2007 sale of £50,000.
