Overview

About 1 Copthurst Avenue

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

1 Copthurst Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Higham, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9DB). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 53% above the 2015 sale of £230,000. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Method

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 1 Copthurst Avenue is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB12 9DB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Copthurst Avenue. 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 1 Copthurst Avenue was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, 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 1 Copthurst Avenue. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB12 9DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Copthurst Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
