38 Bear Street, Burnley, BB12 6NQ
About 38 Bear Street
38 Bear Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Burnley (BB12 6NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 is 34.3% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 36.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2020 for £265,000.
