About 7 Harpers Lane

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

7 Harpers Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fence, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9PD). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
