Overview

About 1 Lawrence Avenue

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

1 Lawrence Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Simonstone, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7HX). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1640 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 152 m² it's 19.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 sits 54.4% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 20.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Lawrence Avenue is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 7HX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Lawrence Avenue. 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 1 Lawrence Avenue was lodged in February 2009 at band F and expired in February 2019, 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. 2 applications are matched to 1 Lawrence Avenue. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 7HX, not by walking route.
Council tax band
1 Lawrence Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
