Overview

About 1 Forester Drive

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

1 Forester Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fence, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9PG). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 19.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 31.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
