About 9 Cotton Street
9 Cotton Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Burnley (BB12 0NH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.2% per year.
