About 12 Merton Street
12 Merton Street is a mid-terrace house in Burnley (BB12 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2002, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 766.7% above the 2002 sale of £15,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£16/sq ft) was about 26.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
