Overview

About 20 George Lane

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

20 George Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7RH). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 20 George Lane is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 7RH. 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 20 George Lane. 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 20 George Lane was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 20 George Lane. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 7RH, not by walking route.
Council tax band
20 George Lane is in council tax band F. 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.
