About 12 Merton Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 24 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 sits 706.7% 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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Merton Street is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 0DG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 12 Merton Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Merton Street was lodged in May 2015 at band E and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 0DG, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 12 Merton Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
