5 Birchfield Mews, Burnley, BB12 6EJ

5 Birchfield Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Burnley (BB12 6EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the 27th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–58 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 12.8% below the 2007 sale of £124,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 62.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
