Overview

About 47 Whalley Road

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

47 Whalley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7PN). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

At 120 m² it's 21.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 30 EPCs). Across 2015–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 36.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 is 16.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 59.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 47 Whalley Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 7PN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 47 Whalley Road. 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 47 Whalley Road was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 47 Whalley Road. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 7PN, not by walking route.
Council tax band
47 Whalley Road is in council tax band D. 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.
