Overview

About 17 Forester Drive

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

17 Forester Drive is a semi-detached house in Fence, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9PG). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 67), 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 November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 240% above the 2001 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2003.
