Overview

About 8 Berkeley Drive

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

8 Berkeley Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7QG). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 is 13.7% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 44.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Berkeley Drive is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 7QG. 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 8 Berkeley Drive. 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 8 Berkeley Drive was lodged in August 2015 at band E and expired in August 2025, 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. None is matched to 8 Berkeley Drive. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 7QG, not by walking route.
Council tax band
8 Berkeley Drive 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.
