Overview

About 14 West Close Avenue

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

14 West Close Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Higham, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9BE). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in November 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 344.7% above the 1996 sale of £51,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 74% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
