About Morar

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

Morar is a five-bedroom detached house in Higham, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9BL). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2164 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 201 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 206.5% above the 1997 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 66.2% below the postcode norm.
