Overview

About 38 Bear Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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 £335,000 is 26.4% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 32% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2020 for £265,000.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 38 Bear Street is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 6NQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 38 Bear Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 38 Bear Street was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 38 Bear Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 6NQ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
38 Bear Street is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
