About 31 Merton Street
31 Merton Street is a mid-terrace house in Burnley (BB12 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since October 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 69 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 23 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 sits 116.7% above the 2007 sale of £47,059. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 255.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
