About 4 Merton Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Merton Street is a mid-terrace house in Burnley (BB12 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Merton Street is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 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
