About 1 Lower Mead Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Lower Mead Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Burnley (BB12 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 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 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 29.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
